The
job cuts at the world's largest chipmaker this year will be
considerably larger than the more than 1,100 U.S. jobs
eliminated last year, Oregonlive said. (http://bit.ly/1W4qEVS)
Intel is also looking to consolidate some operations and close
some smaller outposts after a series of acquisitions Oregonlive
said on Friday.
The job cuts, which could also include top executive roles,
could begin soon after the company reports its first-quarter
results on Tuesday, Oregonlive said.
Intel, which had 107,300 employees as of Dec. 26, declined to
comment.
The company had said in 2014 it planned to reduce its global
workforce by about 5 percent, or more than 5,000 positions, as
it struggled with falling personal-computer sales and shifted
focus to faster-growing areas.
Last week Intel said two senior executives would leave.
