Intel, once the largest chip company in the US, has been gradually overtaken by competitors in recent years. Despite being the largest manufacturer of microprocessors for desktop computers, Intel has faced challenges in its business performance.
In the first quarter, Intel’s revenue was lower than forecast, reaching only 12.72 billion USD. This decline is expected to continue in the second quarter due to weak demand. The drop in Intel’s share price has sparked concerns among investors about the company’s future.
CEO Pat Gelsinger acknowledged the challenges ahead as he works to close the technology gap that Intel has fallen behind on over the past decade. With a commitment to catching up with rivals by 2026, Intel is investing heavily in infrastructure and equipment to produce more advanced chips.
