Intel told employees Thursday it may postpone a decision on how to fix its manufacturing crisis, likely waiting for new CEO Pat Gelsinger to join the company next month before deciding whether to outsource advanced manufacturing to rivals in Asia.
The chipmaker committed to investors in October that it would make that decision by the time it announced its fourth-quarter financial results, saying that would leave just enough time to make the switch in time to produce the new chips by its target date in 2023. That announcement is scheduled for next Thursday.
