Intel CEO Liwu Chen's First Podcast Interview: Our Goal is '10x in 5-10 Years', Betting on Advanced Packaging, Glass Substrate, and Synthetic Diamond

Intel CEO Chen Liwu outlines a bold vision for the company's transformation in a podcast interview, targeting a "10x return in 5-10 years." He emphasizes a strategic shift beyond traditional process node scaling, focusing on advanced packaging (like EMIB), new materials (glass substrates, GaN, SiC, InP, synthetic diamond), and system-level integration. Key to this is Intel's foundry business, where he prioritizes building trust through superior yield, defect density, and cycle times. Chen sees strong CPU demand resurgence driven by agent AI and inference workloads. He details the Terafab collaboration with Elon Musk to address semiconductor infrastructure gaps and stresses the strategic importance of U.S.-based advanced manufacturing. Acknowledging Intel is still in the "crawl" phase of his crawl-walk-run framework, Chen believes the company's full potential—extending from its PC base into edge computing and physical AI—will become apparent by 2030-2032.
