Part 6/7:
The Future of Intel's Brand and Business
Even if Intel does face dismantling, it is widely believed that the underlying assets, including patents and manufacturing capabilities, would retain some inherent value. The future might see parts of Intel being sold or rebranded for survival. As with General Electric, which transformed into GE Aerospace, Intel could emerge with a narrower focus, but the question remains—will it retain the Intel brand?
In the ever-evolving landscape of tech, Intel may face the inexorable march toward commodification. As their products become less distinguishable from with competitors, the brand may slowly turn into a mere licensing entity for its x86 architecture, akin to what has happened with brands like Kodak.
