Intel cuts over 100 jobs at Santa Clara headquarters

(KRON) — Intel is laying off more than 100 workers at its South Bay headquarters, according to state filings with the Employment Development Department. The filings indicate that the chipmaker will slash 107 jobs at its main campus in Santa Clara.

According to a report in the Oregonian, Intel is also shutting down its small automotive business and laying off a majority of the workers in that section. Citing an internal memo, the Oregonian reports that the job cuts come as the company is refocusing on its “core client and data center portfolio.”

The Bay Area Intel job cuts, which are described as permanent in the state filings, are set to take effect in July. News of the Intel layoffs comes just days after retail giant Walmart revealed it to would be cutting hundreds of jobs at its new state-of-the-art Silicon Valley office space.
