American semiconductor giant Intel's interim co-CEOs Michel Holtzhaus and David Zinsner acknowledged on the 12th during a Barclays investment banking conference in San Francisco, Western United States, that if the introduction of new semiconductor manufacturing technology planned for next year is unsuccessful, they may have to separate and sell the manufacturing division, which is currently integrated with the semiconductor design department. Intel, which has fallen behind in the AI semiconductor boom led by American competitor NVIDIA, lost over $100 billion in market cap.
After this statement, Intel's stock price rose by about 2.3%.
