Intel CEO Admits Defeat, Says The Company Can Never Catch Up To The Competition

Expert Verified By

Intel No Longer Sees Itself Among Top 10 Semiconductor Companies!

Story Highlight
  • Intel’s CEO has admitted that the company has been left too far behind by the competition.
  • In particular, Team Blue has given up on trying to fight Nvidia’s AI dominance.
  • It now intends to move in a different direction in the AI industry.

Intel has been the worst of the three major PC giants in recent years. Where AMD and Nvidia have made significant strides in their respective fields, Intel has lost the dominant position it once held over the market.

Between mass layoffs and major CPU failures, the company is clearly lagging behind the competition. In fact, CEO Lip-Bu Tan states that Intel’s competition is so far ahead that it is simply too late to catch up.

Why it matters: The company reported net losses of over $3 billion recently, highlighting the dire situation it currently faces.

According to a leaked internal conversation, CEO Lip-Bu Tan has admitted defeat to the likes of AMD and Nvidia. Moreover, he believes that Intel can no longer be considered among the top 10 semiconductor companies.

I think the world has changed. We are not in the top 10 semiconductor companies.

He later went on to address the current conversation around AI training and Intel’s role in the industry.

CEO Lip-Bu Tan believes the company is too late to this race since Nvidia’s strategy is far too effective. For context, the latter recently hit $4 trillion in company valuation, while Intel was aiming to acquire Nvidia for a mere $20 billion at one point several years ago.

On training (AI), I think it is too late for us.

Still, the CEO has not completely given up just yet. He now aims to target edge AI, a technology that intends to bring AI processing to dedicated devices instead of cloud hardware like Nvidia’s.

As part of these efforts, Team Blue is preparing to hire key personnel who will be crucial to achieving its overall ambition.

Unfortunately for Intel, while these ambitions are certainly interesting, the gaming giant is doing poorly across all fields. Whether it be data centers, GPUs, or OEM systems, AMD and Nvidia have taken over.

Even the biggest handhelds on the market are currently dominated by AMD and Nvidia. Although Intel has tried to fire back with the likes of the MSI Claw, the gaming giant has seen mixed to poor results. Therefore, the future seems uncertain for this semiconductor giant.
