This stark acknowledgment highlights just how much the semiconductor landscape has evolved in recent years. But rather than throwing in the towel, Intel is pivoting with a new strategy—focusing on edge AI and on-device computing as a pathway to reclaim relevance and revenue.

This move aligns with a broader industry trend where privacy, latency, and offline capability are becoming more valuable. With Intel’s legacy in consumer hardware and its renewed focus on leaner operations, edge computing offers t…
