Image: Intel Business\/YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Intel will spin off assets that aren\u2019t part of its core mission, according to Bloomberg. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who became CEO in mid-March after Pat Gelsinger took a heavily encouraged suggestion to retire, made the announcement on March 31 at the Intel Vision conference. Tan did not define the core business or which parts of the business would be affected.<\/p>\n<p>Intel will try to expand its core business using AI and Software 2.0, Tan said. Software 2.0 is a term about the way generative AI allows for coding without writing individual lines of code; instead, the technique, named by computer vision scientist Andrej Karpathy, uses natural language and an AI model. Software 2.0 has some similarities to \u201cvibe coding,\u201d although Software 2.0 encompasses more possible uses for generative AI.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"pinbox right\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">More must-read AI coverage<\/h3>\n<\/aside>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tan_tries_to_turn_Intel_around_as_other_semiconductor_companies_pull_ahead_in_the_AI_boom\"><\/span>Tan tries to turn Intel around as other semiconductor companies pull ahead in the AI boom<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite the AI boom, Intel was not lifted on the wave of demand for chips. Gelsinger\u2019s departure and the state of the company under his last few years of leadership left the future uncertain for Intel. Some considered breaking up the company, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-03-31\/intel-ceo-says-priority-to-recruit-retain-engineering-talent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Intel rival Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) was in the running as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/broadcom-tsmc-intel-chip-manuafacturing-design\/\">a potential buyer<\/a>, as was Broadcom. Splitting its interests between manufacturing or designing chips may have allowed other companies, like TSMC, to pull well ahead. NVIDIA also outweighs Intel in the fight to benefit from the AI boom.<\/p>\n<p><b>SEE: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/arm-cpu-qualcomm-nvidia\/\"><b>Arm Shocked the Semiconductor Industry<\/b><\/a><b> by Announcing It May Sell Its Own Chips<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Tan\u2019s leadership must involve some effort to regain Intel\u2019s footing.
