Intel continues to streamline its business.
The company plans to spin off its Network and Edge group, which is responsible for making chips for the telecom industry, as originally reported by CRN. Intel will be an anchor investor in the standalone business and will seek outside capital.
Intel was rumored to be looking for a buyer for its Network and Edge group in May. This business produced $5.8 billion in revenue in 2024.
This strategy seems similar to the company’s decision to spin off RealSense, its former stereoscopic imaging technology business, earlier this month. Intel decided to spin RealSense out during former CEO Pat Gelsinger’s tenure and the company struck out on its own with $50 million in venture funding.
TechCrunch reached out for more information about its plans and timeline for the spinout.
