20% is in sales and marketing. How would you feel if taxpayer money was going yo marketing? Hopefully the money is going toward equipment and research. Maybe they don’t need the people.

It is not 20% of the Job Cuts are in Sales and Marketing, which is what your sentence could implied. But up to 20% of Sales and Marketing department being cut, which represent majority of the 1000s of job cuts.

I am pretty sure there are lots of bloats at Intel that requires trimming down.

20% of sales and marketing is getting cut. Some other departments may also see losses.
