Some of them went to SG. Some went to Lattice lol.

This round Intel CPM is so scary. A lot of people both senior and junior alike kena. Rumour mill going around that one whole team kena cut because some projects getting canceled so no need so many people in a department. And this is Malaysia, the supposedly safe low cost geo.

You cant compare number of employees directly with Nvidia and AMD la. They have no fabs and factories. more accurate would be to add both AMD and TSMC even then that is not a fair comparison.

Altera only got 3-5k employees total. Current number as of Q2'2025 is around 99k. After CPM expect to be around 80-90k. I dont think Intel can go any lower. You need man power to operate the fabs and factories.

I believe there's some documentation somewhere internally in the company but it's not talked about often enough.

As for CPM, all of it should be done by this week unless there's a special circumstance. This is true for Engineering dept, other dept would do it on different timelines.

As some indicated, this time, the cuts that happen are abit painful as people who are actually delivering work are cut as compared to the past where there were bottom performers.

Quite a bit of my friends are impacted by the ongoing layoff. I heard even Altera is doing the same thing

Saw many people send bye bye email from Team Alt :'(

Sandra to Marvell's CTO's Raghib yep.
But Marvell's Singapore heard now sold to Infineon

Someone from SkyeChip just joined us and apparently the work-life balance there is bad, really bad.

Can attest to Skyechip's non existent work life balance. Required to work weekends because deadlines XD

read on rednote, Intel AI BU in Penang macam dissolved...

Hope all Intellers are enjoying the good run in the stock.

Despite leaving Intel, I still have vested INTC stocks from RSU and ESPP. Those were grated at the price when INTC was at highest, around $60. Still a bit to go

Reading Synopsis and Cadence also mass layoffs lol.

welp is semiconductors still workable industry....

meanwhile Hard Drives and GPU markets sounds good.
