Intel is reportedly exploring a sale for its networking and edge unit

Intel's CEO is considering divesting non-core assets as the company seeks to refocus on its core business units, including PCs and data center chips. A unit that builds chips for telecom equipment, generating $5.8 billion in revenue in 2024, is reportedly a candidate for sale, though Intel has not launched a formal sales process yet. The company has begun engaging with potential buyers but hasn't formally initiated a sales process. Earlier this year, Intel's CEO emphasized its commitment to spinning off non-core assets as part of its strategy to refocus on its main business units at the Intel Vision conference.
