(Reuters) -Intel is set to unveil plans this week to slash more than 20% of its workforce, in a move to streamline operations and reduce bureaucratic inefficiencies, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing a person with knowledge of the matter.

The layoffs are part of a broader strategy to refocus on an engineering-driven culture, according to the report.

Intel did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Its shares were up more than 4.5% in premarket trading on Wednesday.

The layoffs mark a major step under new CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who took over Intel last month, to revive the faltering American firm after years of challenges and management missteps.

1. I wonder what this will mean

For the 28 billion dollar Intel chip factories they have started to build in Ohio. There have already been delays on the project and they are now saying it won’t be operational until 2030.

3. Remember how Garden Gnome de Wine was preening over landing that factory in Ohio.

So Dumpy de-funds it and he just stays silent?

4. I keep hearing about layoffs, layoffs, layoffs for weeks but the jobs numbers

so far do not seem to reflect it? Maybe most of the govt. workers were called back or it just hasn't hit yet?

Everything is so weird these days....

5. Bring in a new CEO. Fire 1/5th of the workforce. Stock goes up.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
