Intel’s New CEO Says It’s All About the Customers—and Cutting-Edge Chips

On Monday, at the Intel Vision conference in Las Vegas, CEO Lip-Bu Tan said his top priority is spending time with customers. He declared that the Intel Corporation he leads will be an engineering-driven powerhouse.

He added that Intel is committed to listening to customer feedback, incorporating it into its strategy, and delivering innovative solutions that address challenges and drive shared success.

In his first public appearance as Intel’s CEO, Tan emphasized the company’s commitment to understanding and meeting the needs of its customers and partners. He highlighted the importance of a software-focused design approach and the development of specialized silicon to support critical customer workloads.

Intel plans to accelerate the development of full-stack solutions and custom silicon tailored for specific needs, including new architectures and core workflows, using AI-driven system design. The strategy reflects Tan’s commitment to rebuilding trust and strengthening partnerships across the ecosystem.

Tan announced plans to refine Intel’s strategy by working closely with the company’s foundry team, thoroughly analyzing the current landscape, and identifying opportunities for growth and differentiation. He confirmed that Intel’s 18A process technology remains on schedule, with the first tape-out for external customers expected soon. The mass production of Panther Lake client computing processors will begin in the second half of the year.

The 18A process marks Intel’s bold return to the foundry business, first announced in 2021. Currently, only TSMC and Samsung Electronics can mass-produce sub-5 nanometer foundry chips. Intel’s 1.8-nanometer process is designed to leap ahead of the 3-nanometer technology, and these two rivals are now in production.

Tan also emphasized teamwork and partnerships, outlining his vision to transform Intel from a traditional supplier into a true collaborative partner through a more synergistic approach.
