Intel is seen executing effectively on its technology roadmap, including delivering on product processes and customer acquisition. However, the pursuit of an internal foundry model poses challenges according to some analysts, despite solid ongoing transformations and customer traction in their business operations.

The conquest of node leadership in products and processes is seen as a path to potentially improved gross margins as noted by several analysts. The company's recent divestiture such as the silicon photonics pluggable transceiver business illustrates an ongoing optimization strategy, having exited approximately ten businesses in the past two and a half years.
