Intel (INTC, Financial) is restructuring its manufacturing division into a separate subsidiary, isolating its foundry business from other operations. Executives revealed that if their new 18A chip manufacturing technology fails, the company may sell its chip manufacturing segment. This announcement follows Intel's struggles in regaining its manufacturing leadership, having lost ground to competitors like NVIDIA in the AI sector. Despite efforts to revitalize its foundry business under CEO Pat Gelsinger, including investing billions in the 18A process, Intel has faced financial setbacks and market share losses. The company's stock rose 3.28% recently, despite a 56% decline this year, reflecting ongoing investor concerns.
