Positive Points Intel Corp (INTC, Financial) is accelerating actions to improve profitability and capital efficiency by more than $10 billion in 2025. The company is targeting a headcount reduction of greater than 15% by the end of 2025, which will significantly reduce operating expenses. Intel Corp (INTC) has introduced a cost-reduction plan that will lower OpEx to approximately $20 billion in 2024 and $17.5 billion in 2025. The launch of Panther Lake in the second half of 2025 is expected to improve overall profitability with a more performant and cost-competitive process. Intel Corp (INTC) has achieved several important milestones, including the ramp of Intel 4 and Intel 3, and the readiness of Intel 20A for production next quarter. Negative Points Q2 profitability was below expectations, partly due to the decision to quickly ramp Core Ultra AI CPUs. The company is suspending its dividend at the beginning of the fourth quarter to prioritize liquidity for strategic investments. Intel Corp (INTC) expects gross margins to be moderately weaker sequentially in Q3 due to the ramp of new manufacturing nodes. The company is facing headwinds in its more cyclical businesses, including NEX, Altera, and Mobileye, which are trending below original forecasts. Weaker-than-expected gross margin in Q2 was due to an accelerated ramp of AI PC products and higher-than-typical period charges related to non-core businesses. Q & A Highlights Q: Pat, big picture, are the challenges product issues, market issues, strategic issues, or execution issues? What is the plan if cost cuts don't suffice? A: This first phase of recovery is well underway. With 18A, PDK 1.0, Panther Lake, and Clearwater Forest powered-on, we are now focusing on building a financiall",url:I,image_url:a,video_url:a,publish_time:J,search_extra_info:{search_burial_info:{id:K,uid:w,ab:{scene_id:L,layer_exp:[{layer_id:M,exp_id:N}]}}},simhash:"2da71af3f8247712",msg_id:w}}],answer_chain_name:O,native_answer:a,come_from:a,text_answer:E,trace_id:e,cost:14190,event_names:a,question:d,fallback_type:P,input_type:Q,fall_back_reason:{fall_back_type:P,risk_detail:{matched_words:[]}},session_id:e,first_return_cost:4118,cache_type:a,question_id:e,transfer_question:d,signal_type:"ON_COMPLETE",start_time:R,remote_svc:l,slots:[],answer_type:v,user_id:r,skill_name:x},renderList:[{type:"base_info",answer_path:"logs\u002FbaseInfo",logs:[],base_info:{trace_id:e,session_id:e,user_id:r,question:d,source:l,raw_question:d,version:"3.4.1",action_name:x,nlu:{entity:[{type:S,value:"INTC.O",market:T}]},deep_research:c,deep_thinking:c,agent_mode:"normal_agent"},extra:{}},{answer_path:f,section:{id:g,info_texts:["Thinking"],show_type:h,choice:[],result_page:{},tag_info_list:[],is_last:b,status:"begin"},logs:[],extra:{is_deep_research:c,deep_thinking:c}},{answer_path:f,section:{id:g,info_texts:["Querying Stock: INTC Operating Expenses in Q3 2024"],show_type:h,choice:[],result_page:{},tag_info_list:[],is_last:b,status:s},logs:[],extra:{action:"Querying Stock",action_input:"INTC Operating Expenses in Q3 2024",thought:t}},{answer_path:f,section:{id:g,info_texts:["Searching Web: Why was INTC Operating Expenses Increase in Q3 2024"],show_type:h,choice:[],result_page:{},tag_info_list:[],is_last:b,status:s},logs:[],extra:{action:"Searching Web",action_input:"Why was INTC Operating Expenses Increase in Q3 2024",thought:t}},{answer_path:f,section:{id:g,info_texts:["Reading News: INTC News in Q3 2024"],show_type:h,choice:[],result_page:{},tag_info_list:[],is_last:b,status:s},logs:[],extra:{action:U,action_input:"INTC News in Q3 2024",thought:t}},{answer_path:f,section:{id:g,info_texts:["Reading News: U.S. Stocks Market News in Q3 2024"],show_type:h,choice:[],result_page:{},tag_info_list:[],is_last:b,status:s},logs:[],extra:{action:U,action_input:"U.S. Stocks Market News in Q3 2024",thought:t}},{answer_path:j,section:{id:V,info_texts:[],show_type:y,choice:[],result_page:{},tag_info_list:[],is_last:b},logs:[],extra:{}},{answer_path:j,section:{id:V,info_texts:[],show_type:y,choice:[],result_page:{},tag_info_list:[],is_last:b},logs:[],extra:{}},{answer_path:f,section:{id:g,info_texts:["Generating Answer"],show_type:h,choice:[],result_page:{},tag_info_list:[],is_last:b,status:"ongoing"},logs:[],extra:{}},{answer_path:j,section:{id:z,info_texts:[],show_type:A,voice_txt:B,text_answer:W,rich_text:W,choice:[],result_page:{},tag_info_list:[],is_last:b},logs:[],extra:{}},{answer_path:j,section:{id:2000,info_texts:[],show_type:A,voice_txt:a,text_answer:a,rich_text:a,choice:[],result_page:{},tag_info_list:[{url:I,image_url:a,video_url:a,title:G,summary:H,index:F,publish_time:J,search_id:K,search_uid:w,search_ab:{scene_id:L,layer_exp:[{layer_id:M,exp_id:N}]},jump_type:"normal"}],is_last:b},logs:[],extra:{}},{answer_path:j,section:{id:z,info_texts:[],show_type:A,voice_txt:".
