Intel Hits Brakes on Automotive Business, Part of 2025 Restructuring

What’s Happening at Intel?

Intel has decided to hit the brakes on its automotive business — eliminating most of the division’s staff.

“As we have said previously, we are refocusing on our core client and data centre portfolio to strengthen our product offerings and meet the needs of our customers,” Cory Pforzheimer, a spokesperson for the tech giant, said in a statement to TechCrunch.

Pforzheimer refused to disclose the exact number of employees affected by the decision.

The bombshell update comes just days after reports claimed that Intel was planning to conduct another round of job cuts next month.

Impact on Canadian Staff

Samfiru Tumarkin LLP is working to determine if any Canadian employees are affected by Intel’s decision to wind down its automotive business.

According to LinkedIn, the company currently has more than 740 workers in the country.
