Intel is hoping for a turnaround under its new CEO, Lip-BuTan. Intel’s Q1 2025 revenue was $12.7 billion, flat year-over-year. While its Client Computing Group (CCG) revenue dropped 8%, the Data Center and AI (DCAI) segment showed an 8% increase, driven by Xeon volume.
Intel is pushing its Gaudi 3 AI accelerators and report that it’s on track for volume production of its Intel 18A process technology in the second half of 2025, a critical step in its attempt to regain manufacturing leadership. This 18A node will underpin future products like Panther Lake CPUs, expected in the second half of 2025.
The company is investing in the AI PC segment with its Core Ultra processors, focusing on on-device AI capabilities and a broader AI Everywhere strategy. Intel’s strategy hinges on improving execution, driving operational efficiencies (targeting $17 billion in operating expenses for 2025, down from previous goals), and rapidly scaling its foundry business (Intel Foundry Services – IFS) to become a major contract manufacturer.
