Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 28, 2024 Management's Discussion & Analysis Critical Accounting Estimates, page 30 1. We note the Critical Accounting Estimates section of your document refers readers to certain financial statement footnotes. Please note, the critical accounting estimates section of MD&A is intended to highlight those financial statement items that require significant management estimates and judgement. Your disclosure should provide comprehensive and meaningful disclosure which considers the following: the method(s) used to determine critical accounting estimates; the accuracy of past estimates or assumptions; the extent to which the estimates or assumptions have changed; the drivers that affect variability; and which estimates or assumptions are reasonably likely to change in the future. June 2, 2025 Page 2 Refer to the guidance in SEC Release No. 33-10890 and Item 303(b)(3) of Regulation S-K. Please note that Instruction 3 to Item 303(b) states that critical accounting estimates should supplement but not duplicate the description of accounting policies or other disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. Include expanded disclosures in future filings and provide us with your proposed disclosure enhancements as part of your response. 2. We note you have sustained goodwill impairment charges in fiscal year 2024. In addition, we note that your auditor has included Goodwill Impairment Assessment as a critical audit matter in their audit opinion. We further note significant continuing impairment indicators such as the carrying value of your net assets substantially exceeding your market capitalization at December 28, 2024. Please expand your critical accounting estimates disclosure to include a discussion of your estimates and assumptions pertaining to goodwill, beyond your disclosures included in Note 11 on page 83. Your disclosures should identify the number of reporting units where goodwill is allocated and tested for impairment. Additionally, indicate whether the fair value substantially exceeds book value for all reporting units at the date of your most recent test. If the fair value of any reporting unit does not substantially exceed book value, identify the reporting unit and provide the following: the percentage by which fair value exceeded carrying value at the date of the most recent test; the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit; a detailed description of the methods and key assumptions used and how the key assumptions were determined; a discussion of the degree of uncertainty associated with the assumptions; and a description of potential events and/or changes in circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the key assumptions. Please include expanded disclosures in future filings and provide us with your proposed disclosure enhancements as part of your response. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 3 - Operating Segments, page 68 3. We note your disclosure in the penultimate paragraph on page 69 which states "our CODMs do not regularly review or receive discrete asset information by operating segment". Given your significant investments in Intel Foundry in recent years, please clarify to us what you mean by "discrete asset information" and confirm your CODMs do not receive total asset information by segment. If your CODMs do not receive and review total asset information by segment, disclose the reason therefore, refer to ASC 280-10-50-26.
