According to foreign media reports, the fierce competition and efforts of vehicle electronics have failed to make profits. Intel made many people's decision to abandon vehicle electronics and close the vehicle processor department after the last batch of chips is completed.

Intel manufactures processors for vehicles, including electric vehicles, information entertainment systems and new advanced systems. Intel also announced the creation of artificial intelligence (AI) chips, which will improve the interaction between navigation systems and voice assistants, and invest heavily in promoting the AI ​​car hardware revolution. Intel's production of vehicle processors is used for 50 million cars on the road, and 18 "trustworthy partners" launch Intel chip cars.

But now Intel has given up his car dream and laid off most of his employees. Although the reason has not been disclosed, it is not difficult to see that the new executive Lip-Bu Tan is trying to destroy assets that cannot be profitable. Intel's strategy is also very simple, focusing on core customers and data center businesses, and financial investment can still make profits. Intel will gradually reject car electronics and will strive to smoothly transition and avoid causing trouble for customers.

Intel has devoted himself to the automotive industry and strives to be a powerful participant. The chips not only provide power to traditional automotive advanced systems, but also assist in automatic driving and redirecting. Intel purchased Mobileye for $15 billion in 2017 and will continue to operate after withdrawing from car electronics this time.

In 2024, Intel announced that Arc GPUs were used in cars. China Event revealed that it would develop a new user interface for GPU drivers and add advanced features, such as supporting 3A games. Of course, the plan has not been realized, and the development of Arc GPUs was also finally completed.

It is not surprising that Intel has given up on car electronics. Chen Liwu started the dean's plan and the payment volume declined. Chen Liwu explained that the short-term strategy included layoffs, but he never disclosed whether the vehicle electronics business was abandoned.
