Chipmaker Intel said it is planning layoffs within its data center group amid a larger effort to become a "more focused and efficient" company.
"As part of our broader strategy to become a more focused and efficient company, Intel's data center group (DCG) is aligning its organization to ensure it has the right roles and skills in place to position the business for long-term success," an Intel spokesperson told Business Insider on Tuesday.
The spokesperson added that Intel is "committed to treating all impacted employees with respect and providing resources to support them through this transition."
It was not immediately clear how many Intel employees would be impacted by the layoffs.
A person familiar with the matter told Business Insider that the changes would not affect the data center group's product commitments and roadmaps and should help to better streamline the business.
News of the planned layoffs was first reported by The Oregonian.
The new round of job cuts come as Intel has steadily reduced its workforce over recent years.
Last year, Intel laid off at least 15% of its factory workers or more than 5,000 employees across four US states.
"Removing organizational complexity and empowering our engineers will enable us to better serve the needs of our customers and strengthen our execution," an Intel spokesperson told Business Insider at the time.
In August 2024, the chip manufacturer announced more than 15,000 job cuts as part of a plan to deliver $10 billion in cost savings for 2025.
