Pat Gelsinger has led Intel since 2021, but the chipmaker has been in a steady decline. The company has failed not only in its core business but also in the AI market. The US chipmaker's stock has lost 52% of its value this year.
In September, Intel announced plans to spin off its foundry business into a standalone company to raise more outside capital. In August, the company reported disappointing quarterly results, leading to its worst sell-off in 50 years.
Intel announced it would cut more than 15% of its workforce as part of a cost-saving plan. In late September, media reported that Qualcomm was considering buying Intel.
