Abstract: The article focuses on Intel's struggle for survival amid significant challenges, including leadership changes and financial instability, while highlighting the critical role of semiconductor production in U.S. national security. After Lip-Bu Tan returned as CEO in March 2025, he faced skepticism from employees and external pressures, particularly allegations regarding his ties to Chinese companies. Intel has secured emergency investments from the U.S. government and Nvidia, but experts suggest it needs an additional $40 billion to regain its competitive edge in producing leading-edge chips, which it has not manufactured since 2017. The article emphasizes that Intel's recovery is not only vital for the company but also for maintaining the U.S.'s technological independence and security in a geopolitically competitive landscape.
