But in the past couple of years, the company has implemented a number of cost-cutting measures that hit benefits such as free food and car allowances, and reduced jobs at the chip giant’s Irish operations.</p><p class="c-paragraph paywall">In August, the company said it would seek cost cutting of about €10 billion before the end of 2025, with a number of redundancies sought at the Irish operation as part of a 15 per cent cut being sought companywide.</p><p class="c-paragraph paywall">In September, Intel said it would close its research and development facility at Shannon next year, moving the base for the operation to Kildare and offering staff there the same early retirement and redundancy options open to staff in Kildare.</p><p class="c-paragraph paywall">That followed the loss of 130 jobs in the previous round of cuts announced in 2022, and a voluntary, unpaid scheme that allowed staff to take up to three months off work before returning to their position.</p><p class="c-paragraph paywall">Over the past year, Intel’s share price has dropped more than 40 per cent, falling to a market capitalisation of just over $103.7 billion. By contrast, shares in Nvidia, which has cornered the market for cutting-edge AI chips, have risen more than 200 per cent over the same period, reaching a market cap of $3.35 trillion.

Intel also took $15.9 billion of impairment charges on equipment and goodwill writedowns.</p><p class="c-paragraph paywall">Attention had recently turned to Mr Gelsinger’s relationship with his board, from which Lip-Bu Tan resigned in August. The former chief executive of chip design software company Cadence had been charged with overseeing its crucial chip manufacturing strategy.</p><p class="c-paragraph paywall">As part of the changes announced on Monday, Ms Johnston Holthaus will take a newly created position as chief executive of Intel Products, a unit that encompasses its AI, data centre and client computing groups.</p><p class="c-paragraph paywall">Frank Yeary, who was independent chairman of Intel’s board but will become interim executive chairman as it looks for a new chief, added: “While we have made significant progress in regaining manufacturing competitiveness and building the capabilities to be a world-class foundry, we know that we have much more work to do at the company and are committed to restoring investor confidence.</p><p class="c-paragraph paywall">“As a board, we know first and foremost that we must put our product group at the centre of all we do,” he said. “Our customers demand this from us, and we will deliver for them.” – Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2024</p><ul class="c-unordered-list paywall"><li class="c-list-item paywall"><i>Sign up for the </i><a
