Led by the flagship i9-13900K processor, the 13th-gen lineup builds on the 12th-gen’s hybrid core architecture. According to Intel, the i9-13900K processor is 11 percent faster than AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X “Zen 4” CPUs.

Back in September, Intel broke ground in Ohio to build a brand-new $20 billion fab facility. Once complete, the project will create 3,000 full-time jobs.

Earlier this week, Intel executed a successful IPO of its autonomous driving unit. Mobileye was able to raise $861 million by floating 41 million shares at $21 per share.

Intel is considering mass layoffs, as per a number of reports in recent days. Oregon Live quoted Intel’s CEO Pat Gelsinger, who, in an address to the company’s employees, said:

“These are always hard decisions, but our costs are too high and our margins are too low.”

Gelsinger went on to note:

“We have to take actions to address them.”
