Honored to be the 2026 recipient of the AAEOY Distinguished Lifetime Achievement Award, hosted by CIE. It was humbling to be introduced at the event by my close friend and renowned semiconductor technologist, father of the FinFET transistor and @UCBerkeley Professor Chenming Hu. Many thanks to the AAEOY (Asian American Engineer of the Year) organizers and congratulations to all my fellow awardees.

Earlier this week, we welcomed the Board of Directors of @Hitachi to the @intel campus for a wide-ranging conversation. I am delighted to see the growing collaboration between Intel and Hitachi - spanning industrial and factory automation, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, purpose-built silicon and an exciting partnership in quantum computing.

At Hitachi Inspire, I shared why I believe the most important challenges in technology today cannot be solved by any one company alone. Scaling AI, strengthening supply chains, advancing security, and bringing quantum computing closer to practical use will require strong partnerships across our industry. I appreciated the opportunity to talk with Shashank Samant about how the industry can work together to address these opportunities.

Hitachi’s 116-year history is a powerful reminder that lasting innovation requires long-term thinking and partnership. I am looking forward to the strong partnership between Intel and Hitachi!

Earlier this week, I connected with my good friend @jpatel41 at @Cisco Splunk .conf26. We talked about the importance of listening to customers, hearing the truth, and building a strong team that takes accountability. We also talked about the importance of security and observability in AI. We need to use AI responsibly, but we should not lose sight of how much good it can do. Thank you, Jeetu for the friendship and conversation. And thank you to the Splunk community for the warm welcome.

Agentic AI is fundamentally reshaping cybersecurity requirements. The industry needs security designed into the entire AI stack, starting with the silicon itself and not added as an afterthought. Thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with @CrowdStrike CEO @George_Kurtz at fal.con earlier today. @intel and CrowdStrike are uniquely positioned to combine hardware-level capabilities with cloud-native security intelligence.

Security starts with Intel!

@adenatfriedman @Nasdaq @intel Thank you, Adena for your support to Intel

[Lip-Bu Tan @LipBuTan1]

Following Intel’s $23 billion oversubscribed capital raise, I’m grateful to everyone who has reached out with messages of support and confidence in our future. Thank you, @adenatfriedman and @Nasdaq, for helping us mark this important moment for Intel. We are building a new @intel - more focused, more disciplined and moving with greater speed. The work continues, and I’m excited about what lies ahead!

Yesterday, @intel completed our planned capital raise of $20B in one of the largest follow-on equity offerings on record. With strong support from targeted long-term sovereign funds, fundamental growth and institutional investors, specialty hedge funds and retail investors, the round was oversubscribed >5X our initial goal.

Many thanks to our underwriters JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup for their excellent support. With this additional capital, Intel is now well positioned to meet the tremendous growth opportunity ahead of us in advanced node wafer manufacturing, advanced packaging and the massive CPU demand. We remain laser focused on execution across all our businesses.

Along with the full support of our Board, my leadership team and I are fully committed to delivering strong returns to our shareholders in the coming years and to building a new and vibrant Intel.

I was delighted to celebrate National Intern Day with a group of @intel interns this week. It was wonderful to see the energy and fresh insight our interns bring to the future of computing!

Thank you to our class of nearly 700 interns around the world for investing your time and talent with @intel. We look forward to welcoming many of you back as full-time employees upon graduation!

[Lip-Bu Tan @LipBuTan1]

Delighted to partner with my close friend Ken Xie, founder and CEO of @Fortinet. @intel will collaborate with Fortinet to design and manufacture Fortinet Security Processor 6 (SP6). Excited to leverage Intel's advanced design and manufacturing capability to create purpose-built silicon to enable the next generation of cybersecurity innovation!

As we celebrate America's 250th birthday, I was honored to be at a @WhiteHouse Rose Garden lunch with @POTUS and leaders from industry and government to launch @TrumpAccounts for America's children.

@intel is proud to support @InvestAmerica24 with matching contributions for our employees' families to give the next generation a head start in achieving the American Dream!!! 🚀

[Lip-Bu Tan @LipBuTan1]

250 years ago, a small group of people staked everything on an audacious idea: that ordinary citizens, given liberty and the room to invent, could build something extraordinary.

Today, every chip we design, every wafer we produce, every factory we build stands on that inheritance.

Happy 250th birthday, America!

Wishing everyone a Happy 4th of July!

Super excited to welcome my close friend Seok-Hee Lee back to Intel! @seokhee4 is a highly regarded semiconductor process integration expert and successful CEO (SK Hynix). Early in his career, he spent over 10 years at @intel, contributing to several critical Intel process technologies. He will now oversee our advanced packaging technology development and drive exciting new system integration projects! Advanced packaging and system integration are increasingly critical areas for Intel Foundry and for the future of computing. Seok-Hee will help Intel accelerate the ramp of our industry leading EMIB-T and HBI technologies. I look forward to partnering with him and have him rejoin Intel at this critical time!

Congratulations Prime Minister @narendramodi on becoming the longest serving elected Prime Minister in India's history! Your contributions to the development of India over the last 12 years have been extraordinary and I am delighted to see India-US relations getting stronger every year. India is one of Intel’s largest and fastest growing markets and is home to thousands of talented Intel employees. I enjoyed our conversation in New Delhi last year on developing a semiconductor ecosystem in India and I look forward to meeting you again soon.

.@intel and @GreenstoneBio are working together to speed up the development of new medicine, combining state of the art human genetics and biology from Greenstone with advanced computing platforms from Intel. This work will allow rapid drug discovery at lower cost. This combination of human biology and AI computing will shape the future of biomedicine in the coming years. I’m amazed by the work my longtime friend Dr. @Joseph_C_Wu and his team are doing, and we are excited about the potential of this partnership.

Intel has been developing brain-inspired neuromorphic silicon technology for several years. We are now accelerating this work as we partner with Echo Neurotechnologies to develop algorithms that are not just brain-inspired, but actually trained on brain activity itself. This will allow us to build highly energy-efficient computing architectures and platforms that are faster, lighter and closer to how humans actually think. I am excited to work with my friend Dr. Eddie Chang and his talented team at Echo Neurotechnologies. Together, we will build AI that learns from the most powerful computer ever discovered, the human brain!

Intel is deepening our collaboration with Foxconn to build next‑gen AI infrastructure for data centers, edge AI, and physical AI. Our collaboration aims to give data center and cloud customers AI racks that are denser, more power‑efficient, and ready for the next wave of agentic workloads. Thank you, Young Liu and Jerry Hsiao, for your partnership.

I was in Tokyo earlier this week where @intel announced a partnership with @Hitachi to bring AI into the physical world - from energy grids and rail networks to smart factories and critical infrastructure. Looking forward to working with Toshiaki Tokunaga and the Hitachi team on quantum computing, energy optimization, purpose-built silicon for edge AI, advanced foundry equipment and automation. Together we will help make the world’s most important infrastructure smarter, more resilient, and more sustainable.
