Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation [Text Block]	Note 1: Basis of Presentation We prepared our interim consolidated condensed financial statements that accompany these notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (2016 Form 10-K). We have a 52- or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday in December. Our fiscal year 2017 is a 52-week year ending on December 30, 2017, while our fiscal year 2016 was a 53-week fiscal year that ended on December 31, 2016. The first quarter of fiscal year 2016 was a 14-week quarter compared to the standard 13-week quarters. We have made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our consolidated condensed financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. This report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our 2016 Form 10-K.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	Note 2: Accounting Policies Advertising Through cooperative advertising programs, such as our Intel Inside ® program, we reimburse customers for marketing activities for certain of our products. We accrue cooperative advertising obligations and record the costs at the same time that the related revenue is recognized. We record cooperative advertising costs as marketing, general and administrative (MG&A) expenses to the extent that an advertising benefit separate from the revenue transaction can be identified and the fair value of that advertising benefit received is determinable. We record any excess in cash paid to customers over the fair value of the advertising benefit we receive as a reduction in revenue. We are transitioning customers from the current offerings under the Intel Inside ® program to cooperative advertising offerings more tailored to customers and their marketing audiences. In the second half of 2017, we are recording cooperative advertising costs as a reduction of revenue as we no longer meet the criteria for recording these expenses within MG&A.

Recent Accounting Standards

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Standards [Text Block]	Note 3: Recent Accounting Standards We assess the adoption impacts of recently issued accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on our financial statements. The tables below describe impacts from newly issued standards as well as material updates to our previous assessments, if any, from our 2016 Form 10-K. Accounting Standards Adopted Standard/Description Effective Date and Adoption Considerations Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . This accounting standard update eliminates Step 2 from the existing guidance to simplify how goodwill impairment tests are performed. With the elimination of this step, a goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value. We elected to early adopt this accounting standard update in the second quarter of 2017 on a prospective basis. We expect the adoption of this update to simplify our annual goodwill impairment testing process, by eliminating the need to estimate the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill, if its respective carrying value exceeds fair value. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted Standard/Description Effective Date and Adoption Considerations Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement. Requires changes to the accounting for financial instruments that primarily affect equity securities, financial liabilities measured using the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for such instruments. Effective in the first quarter of 2018. Changes to our marketable equity securities are required to be adopted using a modified-retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. A cumulative-effect adjustment equal to the balance of unrealized gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for these securities as of December 31, 2017 will be recorded to retained earnings in the period of adoption. Due to fluctuations in our portfolio, the precise impact from adopting the standard will not be known until December 31, 2017. Since management has elected to apply the measurement alternative to non-marketable equity securities, changes to these securities are adopted prospectively. Marketable equity securities previously classified as available-for-sale equity investments will be measured and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through the income statement. All non-marketable equity securities formerly classified as cost method investments will be measured and recorded using the measurement alternative upon adoption. Equity securities measured and recorded using the measurement alternative are recorded at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes. Adjustments resulting from impairments and observable price changes will be recorded in the income statement. Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, in accordance with the standard, fair value measurement and hierarchy disclosures will no longer be provided for equity securities measured using the measurement alternative. In addition, the existing impairment model will be replaced with a new one-step qualitative impairment model. No initial adoption adjustment will be recorded for these instruments since the standard is required to be applied prospectively for securities measured using the measurement alternative. We are finalizing our impact assessment and changes to our accounting policies and financial statement disclosures. Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This amended standard was issued to provide additional guidance on the presentation of net benefit cost in the income statement and on the components eligible for capitalization in assets. The service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost will continue to be reported within operating income on the consolidated income statement. All other non-service components are required to be presented separately outside operating income and only service costs will be eligible for inventory capitalization. Effective in the first quarter of 2018. Changes to the presentation of benefit costs are required to be adopted retrospectively while changes to the capitalization of service costs into inventories are required to be adopted prospectively. The standard permits, as a practical expedient, to use the amounts disclosed in the Retirement Benefit Plans footnote for the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirement. We expect the adoption of the amended standard to result in the reclassification of approximately $260 million from non-service components above the subtotal of operating income to interest and other, net, for the year ended December 31, 2016. We are continuing to assess the impacts of adoption to our 2017 financial statements.

Operating Segments Information

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Operating Segments Information [Text Block]	Note 4: Operating Segments Information We manage our business through the following operating segments: Client Computing Group (CCG) Includes platforms designed for notebooks, 2 in 1 systems, desktops (including all-in-ones and high-end enthusiast PCs), tablets, phones, wireless and wired connectivity products, and mobile communication components. Data Center Group (DCG) Includes workload-optimized platforms for compute, storage, and network functions and related products designed for enterprise, cloud, and communication infrastructure market segments. Internet of Things Group (IOTG) Includes platforms designed for Internet of Things market segments, including retail, transportation, industrial, video, buildings and smart cities, along with a broad range of other market segments. Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group (NSG) Includes Intel ® Optane™ SSD products and NAND flash memory products primarily used in solid-state drives. Programmable Solutions Group (PSG) Includes programmable semiconductors primarily field-programmable gate array (FPGAs) and related products for a broad range of market segments, including communications, data center, industrial, military, and automotive. All other Includes results from our other non-reportable segments and corporate-related charges. We offer platforms that incorporate various components and technologies, including a microprocessor and chipset, a stand-alone System-on-Chip, or a multichip package. A platform may be enhanced by additional hardware, software, and services offered by Intel. Platforms are used in various form factors across our CCG, DCG, and IOTG operating segments. We derive a substantial majority of our revenue from platforms, which is our principal product. In the third quarter of 2017 , we completed our tender offer for the outstanding ordinary shares of Mobileye B.V. (Mobileye), formerly known as Mobileye N.V. In the second quarter of 2017 , we completed the planned divestiture of Intel Security Group (ISecG). The results are reported within the "all other" category. See " Note 10: Acquisitions and Divestitures " for additional information. The “all other” category includes revenue, expenses, and charges such as: • results of operations from non-reportable segments; • amounts included within restructuring and other charges; • a portion of profit-dependent compensation and other expenses not allocated to the operating segments; • historical results of operations of divested businesses; • results of operations of start-up businesses that support our initiatives, including our foundry business; and • acquisition-related costs, including amortization and any impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and goodwill. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), which is our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. Operating segments do not record inter-segment revenue. We do not allocate gains and losses from equity investments, interest and other income, or taxes to operating segments. Although the CODM uses operating income to evaluate the segments, operating costs included in one segment may benefit other segments. Except for these differences, the accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for Intel as a whole. Net revenue and operating income (loss) for each period were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (In Millions) Sep 30, Oct 1, Sep 30, Oct 1, Net revenue: Client Computing Group Platform $ 8,132 $ 8,258 $ 23,163 $ 22,395 Other 728 634 1,886 1,384 8,860 8,892 25,049 23,779 Data Center Group Platform 4,439 4,164 12,344 11,589 Other 439 378 1,138 979 4,878 4,542 13,482 12,568 Internet of Things Group Platform 680 605 1,926 1,673 Other 169 84 364 239 849 689 2,290 1,912 Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group 891 649 2,631 1,760 Programmable Solutions Group 469 425 1,334 1,249 All other 202 581 922 1,745 Total net revenue $ 16,149 $ 15,778 $ 45,708 $ 43,013 Operating income (loss): Client Computing Group $ 3,600 $ 3,327 $ 9,656 $ 7,123 Data Center Group 2,255 2,110 5,403 5,639 Internet of Things Group 146 191 390 403 Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group (52 ) (134 ) (291 ) (453 ) Programmable Solutions Group 113 78 302 (184 ) All other (947 ) (1,110 ) (2,919 ) (4,180 ) Total operating income $ 5,115 $ 4,462 $ 12,541 $ 8,348

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	Note 5: Earnings Per Share We computed basic earnings per share of common stock based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We computed diluted earnings per share of common stock based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (In Millions, Except Per Share Amounts) Sep 30, Oct 1, Sep 30, Oct 1, Net income available to common stockholders $ 4,516 $ 3,378 $ 10,288 $ 6,754 Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding—basic 4,688 4,734 4,707 4,728 Dilutive effect of employee equity incentive plans 34 47 43 54 Dilutive effect of convertible debt 99 96 99 90 Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding—diluted 4,821 4,877 4,849 4,872 Basic earnings per share of common stock $ 0.96 $ 0.71 $ 2.19 $ 1.43 Diluted earnings per share of common stock $ 0.94 $ 0.69 $ 2.12 $ 1.39 Potentially dilutive shares of common stock from employee incentive plans are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units (RSUs), and the assumed issuance of common stock under the stock purchase plan. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock for our 2005 debentures are determined by applying the if-converted method. However, as our 2009 debentures require settlement of the principal amount of the debt in cash upon conversion, with the conversion premium paid in cash or stock at our option, potentially dilutive shares of common stock are determined by applying the treasury stock method. In all periods presented, potentially dilutive securities which would have been antidilutive are insignificant and are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. In all periods presented, we included our 2009 debentures in the calculation of diluted earnings per share of common stock because the average market price was above the conversion price. We could potentially exclude the 2009 debentures in the future if the average market price is below the conversion price.

Financial institution instruments include instruments issued or managed by financial institutions in various forms such as commercial paper, fixed and floating rate bonds, money market fund deposits, and time deposits. Substantially all time deposits were issued by institutions outside the U.S. as of September 30, 2017 ( most time deposits were issued by institutions outside the U.S. as of December 31, 2016 ). During the third quarter of 2017 , we sold available-for sale investments for proceeds of $2.9 billion ( $195 million in the third quarter of 2016 ). During the first nine months of 2017 , we sold available-for-sale investments for proceeds of $4.7 billion ( $4.0 billion in the first nine months of 2016 ). The gross realized gains on sales of available-for-sale investments were $927 million in the third quarter of 2017 and $2.0 billion in the first nine months of 2017 ( $41 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $538 million in the first nine months of 2016 ). On April 28, 2017, Cloudera, Inc. (Cloudera) completed its initial public offering and we have designated our previous equity and cost method investments in Cloudera as available-for-sale. During the second quarter of 2017, we determined we had an other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of our investment and recognized an impairment charge of $278 million . We recognized the impairment in the second quarter due to the duration and severity of the decline in the investment's fair value, which we determined was below cost based upon observable market prices after the initial public offering. The fair value of available-for-sale debt investments, by contractual maturity, as of September 30, 2017 , were as follows: (In Millions) Fair Value Due in 1 year or less $ 3,314 Due in 1–2 years 1,573 Due in 2–5 years 2,200 Due after 5 years 71 Instruments not due at a single maturity date 4,147 Total $ 11,305 Equity Method Investments McAfee In the second quarter of 2017 , we closed our divestiture of the ISecG business and retained a 49% interest in McAfee as partial consideration. Our investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and is classified within other long-term assets. In the third quarter of 2017, we received a $735 million dividend from McAfee and recorded our share of equity method investee losses. The carrying value of our investment was $257 million as of September 30, 2017 . For further information related to the divestiture of the ISecG business, see " Note 10: Acquisitions and Divestitures ". IM Flash Technologies, LLC Since the inception of IM Flash Technologies, LLC (IMFT) in 2006, Micron Technology, Inc. (Micron) and Intel have jointly developed NAND flash memory and, most recently, 3D XPoint™ technology products. Intel also purchases jointly developed products directly from Micron under certain supply agreements. As of September 30, 2017 , we own a 49% interest in IMFT. The carrying value of our investment was $855 million as of September 30, 2017 ( $849 million as of December 31, 2016 ) and is classified within other long-term assets. IMFT is a variable interest entity and all costs of IMFT are passed on to Micron and Intel through sale of products or services in proportional share of ownership. Our portion of IMFT costs, primarily related to product purchases and production-related services, was approximately $115 million in the third quarter of 2017 and approximately $350 million in the first nine months of 2017 (approximately $115 million in the third quarter of 2016 and approximately $315 million in the first nine months of 2016 ). The amount due to IMFT for product purchases and services provided was approximately $73 million as of September 30, 2017 (approximately $95 million as of December 31, 2016 ). IMFT depends on Micron and Intel for any additional cash needs. Our known maximum exposure to loss approximated the carrying value of our investment balance in IMFT. Except for the amount due to IMFT for product purchases and production-related services, we did not have any additional liabilities recognized on our consolidated condensed balance sheets in connection with our interests in this joint venture as of September 30, 2017 . Our potential future losses could be higher than the carrying amount of our investment, as Intel and Micron are liable for other future operating costs or obligations of IMFT. Future cash calls could also increase our investment balance and the related exposure to loss. In addition, because we are currently committed to purchasing 49% of IMFT’s production output and production-related services, we may be required to purchase products at a cost in excess of realizable value. Non-marketable Cost Method Investments Beijing UniSpreadtrum Technology Ltd. During 2014, we entered into a series of agreements with Tsinghua Unigroup Ltd. (Tsinghua Unigroup), an operating subsidiary of Tsinghua Holdings Co. Ltd., to, among other things, jointly develop Intel ® architecture- and communications-based solutions for phones. We agreed to invest up to 9.0 billion Chinese yuan (approximately $1.5 billion as of the date of the agreement) for a minority stake of approximately 20% of Beijing UniSpreadtrum Technology Ltd., a holding company under Tsinghua Unigroup. During 2015, we invested $966 million to complete the first phase of the equity investment and accounted for our interest using the cost method of accounting. During the second quarter of 2017, we reduced our expectation of the company's future operating performance due to competitive pressures, which resulted in an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $147 million . Trading Assets Net gains related to trading assets still held at the reporting date were $81 million in the third quarter of 2017 and $433 million in the first nine months of 2017 (there were $72 million net gains related to trading assets still held at the reporting date in the third quarter of 2016 and $245 million of net gains in the first nine months of 2016 ). Net losses on the related derivatives were $75 million in the third quarter of 2017 and $402 million in the first nine months of 2017 (net losses of $54 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $224 million in the first nine months of 2016 ).

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions and Divestitures [Text Block]	Note 10: Acquisitions and Divestitures Acquisition of Mobileye On August 21, 2017, we completed our tender offer for all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Mobileye, a global leader in the development of computer vision and machine learning, data analysis, localization and mapping for advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving. This acquisition combines Mobileye's leading computer vision expertise with Intel’s high-performance computing and connectivity expertise to create automated driving solutions from car to cloud. The combination is expected to accelerate innovation for the automotive industry and position Intel as a leading technology provider in the fast-growing market for highly and fully autonomous vehicles. The transaction also extends Intel’s strategy to invest in data-intensive market opportunities that build on our strengths in computing and connectivity from the cloud, through the network, to the device. As of the completion of the tender offer, we acquired substantially all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Mobileye. We acquired 84.4% of the outstanding shares on August 8, 2017 and 97.3% as of August 21, 2017, and we intend to acquire all remaining outstanding shares. We have reflected the acquisition of the additional outstanding shares and reduction to the noncontrolling interest by $1.8 billion in the tables below. Total consideration to acquire Mobileye was $14.5 billion (net of $366 million of cash and cash equivalents acquired) . The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by major class in the acquisition of Mobileye were recognized as follows: (In Millions) Short-term investments and marketable securities $ 370 Tangible assets 227 Goodwill 10,278 Identified intangible assets 4,482 Current liabilities (69 ) Deferred tax liabilities and other (418 ) Noncontrolling interest (375 ) Total $ 14,495 We assumed outstanding unvested Mobileye stock options and RSUs granted under two Mobileye equity plans. We will not grant additional equity awards under these two Mobileye equity plans. In connection with the acquisition, we recognized share-based compensation expense of $71 million for cash-settled awards. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon estimates and assumptions that are subject to change within the one year measurement period. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized are certain tax matters, identification of contingencies, and goodwill. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was determined based on the quoted share price of Mobileye as of August 8, 2017, and the remaining outstanding shares that constitute the noncontrolling interest. We recorded the noncontrolling interest as a component of equity. Goodwill of $10.3 billion arising from the acquisition is attributed to the expected synergies and other benefits that will be generated from the combination of Intel and Mobileye. Substantially all of the goodwill recognized is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized from the acquisition is included within "all other." The identified intangible assets assumed in the acquisition of Mobileye were recognized as follows: Fair Value Weighted Average Developed technology $ 2,346 9 Customer relationships 713 12 Brands 64 10 Identified intangible assets subject to amortization 3,123 In-process research and development 1,359 Identified intangible assets not subject to amortization 1,359 Total identified intangible assets $ 4,482 Acquired developed technology represents the fair value of Mobileye products that have reached technological feasibility and are a part of Mobileye’s product offerings, as opposed to in-process research and development which represents the fair value of products that have not reached technological feasibility. Customer relationships represent the fair values of the underlying relationships and agreements with Mobileye’s customers. Divestiture of Intel Security Group On April 3, 2017, we closed the transaction with TPG VII Manta Holdings, L.P., now known as Manta Holdings, L.P. (TPG), transferring certain assets and liabilities relating to ISecG to a newly formed, jointly-owned, separate cybersecurity company called McAfee. Total consideration received was $4.2 billion , consisting of $924 million in cash proceeds, $1.1 billion in the form of equity representing a 49% ownership interest in McAfee, and $2.2 billion in the form of promissory notes issued by McAfee and TPG. During the third quarter of 2017, McAfee and TPG repaid the $2.2 billion of promissory notes, which are included within proceeds from divestiture. The carrying amounts of the major classes of ISecG assets and liabilities as of the transaction close date included the following: (In Millions) Apr 3, Accounts receivable $ 317 Goodwill 3,601 Identified intangible assets 965 Other assets 276 Total assets $ 5,159 Deferred income $ 1,553 Other liabilities 276 Total liabilities $ 1,829 As of the transaction close date, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $387 million within "Interest and other, net," which is net of $507 million of currency translation adjustment losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) associated with currency charges on the carrying values of ISecG goodwill and identified intangible assets. In addition, we recognized a tax expense of $822 million .

For further discussion on our currency interest rate swaps, see " Note 16: Derivative Financial Instruments ." During the second quarter of 2017, we issued a total of $7.1 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of the notes for general corporate purposes, which may include refinancing of outstanding debt or repurchases of shares of our common stock. During the third quarter of 2017, we redeemed the $1.0 billion 4.90% senior notes due August 2045 . Additionally, we issued a total of $640 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes. We used the net proceeds from the offering of the notes to finance a portion of the redemption price of our 4.90% senior notes due August 2045 . Our senior floating rate notes pay interest quarterly and our senior fixed rate notes pay interest semiannually. We may redeem the fixed rate notes prior to their maturity at our option at specified redemption prices and subject to certain restrictions. The obligations under the notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and effectively rank junior to all liabilities of our subsidiaries.

The amortization of pension and postretirement benefit components are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost. For further information, see "Note 18: Retirement Benefit Plans" in Part II, Item 8 of our 2016 Form 10-K. We estimate that we will reclassify approximately $94 million (before taxes) of net derivative gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings within the next 12 months. During the second quarter of 2017, we reclassified approximately $507 million (before taxes) of currency translation adjustment losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings as a result of our divestiture of ISecG.

Employee Benefits and Share-based Compensation, Noncash [Abstract]
Employee Equity Incentive Plans [Text Block]	Note 17: Employee Equity Incentive Plans Our equity incentive plans are broad-based, long-term programs intended to attract and retain talented employees and align stockholder and employee interests. In May 2017, stockholders approved an extension of the expiration date of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan to June 2020 and approved an additional 33 million shares reserved for issuance under the plan. As of September 30, 2017, 218 million shares of common stock remained available for future grants. Share-Based Compensation Share-based compensation expense recognized was $397 million , which includes $71 million of cash-settled awards in connection with the Mobileye acquisition, in the third quarter of 2017 and $1.1 billion in the first nine months of 2017 ( $324 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $1.1 billion in the first nine months of 2016 ). Restricted Stock Unit Awards Restricted stock unit activity in the first nine months of 2017 was as follows: Number of RSUs (In Millions) Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value December 31, 2016 106.8 $ 28.99 Granted 41.1 $ 34.46 Assumed in acquisition 1.1 $ 34.90 Vested (38.3 ) $ 27.33 Forfeited (11.1 ) $ 29.97 September 30, 2017 99.6 $ 31.84 The aggregate fair value of awards that vested in the first nine months of 2017 was $1.5 billion , which represents the market value of our common stock on the date that the RSUs vested. The grant-date fair value of awards that vested in first nine months of 2017 was $1.0 billion . The number of RSUs vested includes shares of common stock that we withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements. RSUs that are expected to vest are net of estimated future forfeitures. Stock Purchase Plan The 2006 Stock Purchase Plan allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock at 85% of the value of our common stock on specific dates. Rights to purchase shares of common stock are granted during the first and third quarters of each year. The 2006 Stock Purchase Plan has 150 million shares of common stock remaining through August 2021 for issuance. Employees purchased 15 million shares of common stock in the first nine months of 2017 for $432 million ( 16.5 million shares of common stock in the first nine months of 2016 for $415 million ) under the 2006 Stock Purchase Plan.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies [Text Block]	Note 18: Contingencies Legal Proceedings We are a party to various legal proceedings, including those noted in this section. Although management at present believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or overall trends, legal proceedings and related government investigations are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could include substantial monetary damages. In addition, in matters for which injunctive relief or other conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order prohibiting us from selling one or more products at all or in particular ways, precluding particular business practices, or requiring other remedies. An unfavorable outcome may result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position, and overall trends. We might also conclude that settling one or more such matters is in the best interests of our stockholders, employees and customers, and any such settlement could include substantial payments. Except as specifically described below, we have not concluded that settlement of any of the legal proceedings noted in this section is appropriate at this time. European Commission Competition Matter In 2001, the European Commission (EC) commenced an investigation regarding claims by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) that we used unfair business practices to persuade customers to buy our microprocessors. We received numerous requests for information and documents from the EC and we responded to each of those requests. The EC issued a Statement of Objections in July 2007 and held a hearing on that Statement in March 2008. The EC issued a Supplemental Statement of Objections in July 2008. In May 2009, the EC issued a decision finding that we had violated Article 82 of the EC Treaty and Article 54 of the European Economic Area Agreement. In general, the EC found that we violated Article 82 (later renumbered as Article 102 by a new treaty) by offering alleged "conditional rebates and payments" that required our customers to purchase all or most of their x86 microprocessors from us. The EC also found that we violated Article 82 by making alleged "payments to prevent sales of specific rival products." The EC imposed a fine in the amount of €1.1 billion ( $1.4 billion as of May 2009), which we subsequently paid during the third quarter of 2009, and ordered us to "immediately bring to an end the infringement referred to in" the EC decision. The EC decision contained no specific direction on whether or how we should modify our business practices. Instead, the decision stated that we should "cease and desist" from further conduct that, in the EC's opinion, would violate applicable law. We took steps, which are subject to the EC's ongoing review, to comply with that decision pending appeal. We had discussions with the EC to better understand the decision and to explain changes to our business practices. We appealed the EC decision to the Court of First Instance (which has been renamed the General Court) in July 2009. The hearing of our appeal took place in July 2012. In June 2014, the General Court rejected our appeal in its entirety. In August 2014, we filed an appeal with the European Court of Justice. In November 2014, Intervener Association for Competitive Technologies filed comments in support of Intel’s grounds of appeal. The EC and interveners filed briefs in November 2014, we filed a reply in February 2015, and the EC filed a rejoinder in April 2015. The Court of Justice held oral argument in June 2016. In October 2016, Advocate General Wahl, an advisor to the Court of Justice, issued a non-binding advisory opinion which favored Intel on a number of grounds. The Court of Justice issued its decision in September 2017, setting aside the judgment of the General Court and sending the case back to the General Court to examine whether the rebates at issue are capable of restricting competition. The General Court has appointed a panel of five judges to consider our appeal of the EC’s 2009 decision in light of the Court of Justice’s clarifications of the law. The parties are expected to file initial “Observations” about the Court of Justice’s decision and the appeal in November 2017. Pending the final decision in this matter, the fine paid by Intel has been placed by the EC in commercial bank accounts where it accrues interest. Shareholder Derivative Litigation regarding In re High Tech Employee Antitrust Litigation In March 2014, the Police Retirement System of St. Louis (PRSSL) filed a shareholder derivative action in the Superior Court of California in Santa Clara County against Intel, certain current and former members of our Board of Directors, and former officers. The complaint alleges that the defendants breached their duties to the company by participating in, or allowing, purported antitrust violations, which were alleged in a now-settled antitrust class action lawsuit captioned In re High Tech Employee Antitrust Litigation claiming that Intel, Adobe Systems Incorporated, Apple Inc., Google Inc., Intuit Inc., Lucasfilm Ltd., and Pixar conspired to suppress their employees’ compensation. In March 2014, a second plaintiff, Barbara Templeton, filed a substantially similar derivative suit in the same court. In May 2014, a third shareholder, Robert Achermann, filed a substantially similar derivative action in the same court. The court consolidated the three actions into one, which is captioned In re Intel Corporation Shareholder Derivative Litigation . Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint in July 2014. In August 2015, the court granted our motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint. The plaintiffs thereafter filed a motion for reconsideration and a motion for new trial, both of which the court denied in October 2015. In November 2015, plaintiffs PRSSL and Templeton appealed the court's decision. The appeal is fully briefed, and we are waiting on a hearing date from the appellate court. In June 2015, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) filed a shareholder derivative action in the Chancery Court in Delaware against Intel, certain current and former members of our Board of Directors, and former officers. The lawsuit makes allegations substantially similar to those in the California shareholder derivative litigation described above, but additionally alleges breach of the duty of disclosure with respect to In re High Tech Employee Antitrust Litigation and that Intel's 2013 and 2014 proxy statements misrepresented the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight of compliance issues at Intel and the Board’s compliance with Intel’s Code of Conduct and Board of Director Guidelines on Significant Corporate Governance Issues. In October 2015, the court stayed the IBEW lawsuit for six months pending further developments in the California case. In March 2016, Intel and IBEW entered into a stipulated dismissal pursuant to which IBEW dismissed its complaint but may re-file upon the withdrawal or final resolution of the appeal in the PRSSL California shareholder derivative litigation. In April 2016, John Esposito filed a shareholder derivative action in the Superior Court of California in Santa Clara County against Intel, current members of our Board of Directors, and certain former officers and employees. Esposito made a demand on our Board in 2013 to investigate whether our officers or directors should be sued for their participation in the events described in In re High Tech Employee Antitrust Litigation . In November 2015, our Board decided not to take further action on Esposito’s demand based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board after its investigation of relevant facts and circumstances. Esposito seeks to set aside such decision, and alleges that the Board was not disinterested in making that decision and that the investigation was inadequate. In November 2016, the court granted Intel’s motion to dismiss the case, without leave to amend. In March 2017, plaintiff filed a motion for fees. The court denied plaintiff’s fee motion in May 2017, and entered final judgment in this matter in June 2017. In August 2017, Esposito appealed the final judgment. McAfee, Inc. Shareholder Litigation On August 19, 2010, we announced that we had agreed to acquire all of the common stock of McAfee, Inc. (McAfee) for $48.00 per share. Four McAfee shareholders filed putative class-action lawsuits in Santa Clara County, California Superior Court challenging the proposed transaction. The cases were ordered consolidated in September 2010. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that named former McAfee board members, McAfee, and Intel as defendants, and alleged that the McAfee board members breached their fiduciary duties and that McAfee and Intel aided and abetted those breaches of duty. The complaint requested rescission of the merger agreement, such other equitable relief as the court may deem proper, and an award of damages in an unspecified amount. In June 2012, the plaintiffs’ damages expert asserted that the value of a McAfee share for the purposes of assessing damages should be $62.08 . In January 2012, the court certified the action as a class action, appointed the Central Pension Laborers’ Fund to act as the class representative and scheduled trial to begin in January 2013. In March 2012, defendants filed a petition with the California Court of Appeal for a writ of mandate to reverse the class certification order; the petition was denied in June 2012. In March 2012, at defendants’ request, the court held that plaintiffs were not entitled to a jury trial and ordered a bench trial. In April 2012, plaintiffs filed a petition with the California Court of Appeal for a writ of mandate to reverse that order, which the court of appeal denied in July 2012. In August 2012, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. The trial court granted that motion in November 2012, and entered final judgment in the case in February 2013. In April 2013, plaintiffs appealed the final judgment. The California Court of Appeal heard oral argument in October 2017, and the parties await the court’s decision. Because the resolution of the appeal may materially impact the scope and nature of the proceeding, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the potential loss or range of losses, if any, arising from this matter. We dispute the class-action claims and intend to continue to defend the lawsuit vigorously. Intel Corporation v. Future Link Systems, LLC In March 2014, we filed a complaint against Future Link Systems, LLC (Future Link) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, requesting a declaratory judgment that Intel and our customers do not infringe any valid, enforceable claim of nine patents owned by Future Link. In July 2015, Future Link filed counterclaims against Intel alleging infringement of fifteen patents. In June 2017, the court denied both parties’ Daubert motions to exclude opinions of the other parties’ damages experts. In July 2017, the court ruled on numerous motions for summary judgment of certain claims filed by both Intel and Future Link. As of July 2017, Future Link alleged infringement of fourteen patents, claimed past damages in the amount of approximately $9.9 billion in its experts’ reports, and sought additional damages accrued through trial and ongoing royalties after trial in an unspecified amount. The court scheduled a jury trial for September 2017 on Future Link’s infringement claims regarding three patents with a past damages claim of approximately $2.9 billion and ordered that other proceedings be stayed. In August 2017, the parties reached a confidential settlement agreement resolving all claims. The settlement did not have a material financial impact to Intel.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Advertising Through cooperative advertising programs, such as our Intel Inside ® program, we reimburse customers for marketing activities for certain of our products. We accrue cooperative advertising obligations and record the costs at the same time that the related revenue is recognized. We record cooperative advertising costs as marketing, general and administrative (MG&A) expenses to the extent that an advertising benefit separate from the revenue transaction can be identified and the fair value of that advertising benefit received is determinable. We record any excess in cash paid to customers over the fair value of the advertising benefit we receive as a reduction in revenue. We are transitioning customers from the current offerings under the Intel Inside ® program to cooperative advertising offerings more tailored to customers and their marketing audiences. In the second half of 2017, we are recording cooperative advertising costs as a reduction of revenue as we no longer meet the criteria for recording these expenses within MG&A.
