Which server business got sold?

Stuff like lidars/cameras were always a tiny part of Intel. I don't know how much money they made with the solid state disk business - although it is sad given Intel invented it.

They can't sell the fab business - it operates at a massive loss annually - until they hit breakeven (which they hope will be around 2027). Even then, I expect they will spin it off as a public company instead of a private sale.

FPGA was always bad for Intel - they should never have bought it.

Cellphone: They totally failed at it.

Other than CPUs for laptops through data centers, Intel has failed at everything they've tried (we can soon add GPUs to that list). They are a one trick pony. Almost as bad as Google :-)
