Intel Provides Restructuring Update, Mostly Done 15% Staffing Cut

What’s Happening at Intel?

Intel provided a restructuring update in its Q2 2025 earnings release — claiming that its previously announced 15% workforce reduction is mostly complete.

“These changes are designed to create a faster-moving, flatter, and more agile organization,” the release reads.

“Intel plans to end the year with a core workforce of about 75,000 employees as a result of workforce reductions and attrition.”

The job cuts were one of the first major decisions Lip-Bu Tan made when he took over as the chipmaker’s CEO in March.
