Intel's effort to rebuild its business under CEO Lip-Bu Tan has received fresh attention as demand for central processing units (CPUs) increases alongside the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence applications.
The renewed focus emerged during Computex 2026 in Taipei, one of the semiconductor industry's most closely watched events. The conference took place against a backdrop of growing geopolitical tensions around Taiwan, the center of the global advanced chip supply chain, where Chinese military activity near the island continued during the event, according to Reuters.
