What we know
Location: Santa Clara, California, USA.
Department affected: Data Center and AI Group.
Based on news reporting.
Summary
Intel is eliminating 103 positions in its Data Center and AI Group across four Santa Clara offices, effective Aug. 15, 2026. The cuts come despite strong revenue growth in the division (22% year-over-year in Q1 2026 and accelerated results in Q2), and are described as part of a restructuring to align roles and improve efficiency under CEO Lip-Bu Tan's turnaround plan. Reports cited in the article indicate the layoffs are modest in number but notable because they hit Intel's fastest-growing business, reflecting a broader push to simplify the company and reduce costs amid heavy capital spending and competitive pressure. The move follows prior reductions in Intel's total workforce (from 108,900 to about 85,100 by end of 2025) but targets the specific Data Center and AI group in Santa Clara.
Intel Corporation cut 103 jobs in CA affecting its Data Center and AI Group team as of August 4, 2026.
