Intel's interim co-CEOs, David Zinsner and Michelle Johnston Holthaus, provided candid insights into the company's current challenges and future strategies during their first public appearance together. They highlighted the need for improved execution in Intel's product lines, particularly in AI accelerator chips and server CPUs, while acknowledging increased competition in the PC market. The executives also left open the possibility of restructuring Intel's operations, including the potential separation of its foundry business.
Holthaus expressed confidence in Intel's PC market strategy but admitted that the company has been slow to adapt to the performance and power efficiency of Arm-based processors. She noted high return rates for Arm PCs due to software compatibility issues, emphasizing the need for Intel to innovate and regain market share from competitors like AMD. The discussion also touched on the future of Intel's Gaudi chips, with Holthaus indicating that while the upcoming Falcon Shores chip won't be revolutionary, it represents a necessary step forward.
