Intel Foundry Services generated approximately 120 million dollars in revenue during calendar year 2025, representing roughly one thousandth of the income earned by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company during the same period, according to data from SemiAnalysis analyst Sravan Kundojjala. The foundry division remains far from achieving profitability despite recent organizational changes implemented under Chief Executive Officer Lip-Bu Tan, who has overseen restructuring efforts across consumer products, artificial intelligence, and manufacturing operations.
Major technology corporations, including Tesla, Broadcom, and Microsoft, have reportedly expressed interest in utilizing upcoming Intel manufacturing processes such as the 18A and 14A nodes. The foundry business faces a critical juncture, as Tan has previously indicated that Intel will abandon its advanced chip manufacturing ambitions if external customers fail to adopt its production services, making forthcoming processor lines like Panther Lake and Clearwater Forest essential indicators of the division's viability and competitive positioning against the dominant Taiwanese chipmaker.
