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 GAAP, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018 ( 2018 Form 10-K), except for changes associated with leases as detailed in " Note 2: Recent Accounting Standards and Accounting Policies ." We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to current period presentation. 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, and 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 2018

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Accounting Changes [Text Block]	NOTE 2 : RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES We assess the adoption impacts of recently issued accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on our financial statements and below describe impacts from newly adopted standards, as well as material updates to our previous assessments, if any, from our 2018 Form 10-K. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED Leases Standard/Description: This new lease accounting standard requires that we recognize leased assets and corresponding liabilities on the balance sheet and provide enhanced disclosure of lease activity. Effective Date and Adoption Considerations: Effective in the first quarter of 2019. The standard was adopted applying the modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the period of adoption. Our leased assets and corresponding liabilities exclude non-lease components. Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters: Within the opening balances for the fiscal year beginning December 30, 2018, we recognized leased assets and corresponding liabilities in other long-term assets of $706 million , which includes $81 million of previously recognized prepaid land use rights, as well as corresponding accrued liabilities of $180 million and other long-term liabilities of $445 million . Accounting Policy Updates and Disclosures: We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and classify it as finance or operating. Leased assets and corresponding liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Our lease terms may include options to extend when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, and the non-lease components are accounted for separately and not included in our leased assets and corresponding liabilities. Leases primarily consist of real property, and, to a lesser extent, certain machinery and equipment. We recognized leased assets in other long-term assets of $652 million and corresponding accrued liabilities of $174 million , and other long-term liabilities of $399 million as of September 28, 2019 . Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 9 years , some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to 39 years . The weighted average remaining lease term was 4.8 years , and the weighted average discount rate was 3.4% as of September 28, 2019 . For the nine months ended September 28, 2019 , lease expense was $141 million . In accordance with the new leases standard, discounted and undiscounted lease payments under non-cancelable leases as of September 28, 2019 , excluding non-lease components, are as follows: (In Millions) Remainder of 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 and Thereafter Total Lease payments $ 44 $ 178 $ 125 $ 96 $ 71 $ 108 $ 622 Present value of lease payments $ 573 Lease expense was $231 million in 2018 ( $264 million in 2017). Prior to our adoption of the new leases standard, f uture minimum lease payments as of December 29, 2018, which were undiscounted and included lease and non-lease components, were as follows: (In Millions) 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 and Thereafter Total Minimum rental commitments under all non-cancelable leases $ 229 $ 181 $ 133 $ 101 $ 70 $ 121 $ 835

Operating Segments

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Operating Segments [Text Block]	NOTE 3 : OPERATING SEGMENTS We manage our business through the following operating segments: • Client Computing Group (CCG) • Data Center Group (DCG) • Internet of Things Group (IOTG) • Mobileye • Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group (NSG) • Programmable Solutions Group (PSG) • All Other We offer platform products that incorporate various components and technologies, including a microprocessor and chipset, a stand-alone SoC, or a multichip package. A platform product may be enhanced by additional hardware, software, and services offered by Intel. Platform products are used in various form factors across our CCG, DCG, and IOTG operating segments. We derive a substantial majority of our revenue from platform products, which are our principal products and considered as one class of product. CCG and DCG are our reportable operating segments. IOTG, Mobileye, NSG, and PSG do not meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as reportable operating segments; however, we have elected to disclose the results of these non-reportable operating segments. Our Internet of Things portfolio, presented as Internet of Things, is comprised of IOTG and Mobileye operating segments. The “all other” category includes revenue, expenses, and charges such as: • results of operations from non-reportable segments not otherwise presented; • historical results of operations from divested businesses; • results of operations of start-up businesses that support our initiatives, including our foundry business; • amounts included within restructuring and other charges; • a portion of employee benefits, compensation, and other expenses not allocated to the operating segments; 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 28, Sep 29, Sep 28, Sep 29, Net revenue: Client Computing Group Platform $ 8,379 $ 9,023 $ 24,128 $ 24,703 Adjacent 1,330 1,211 3,008 2,479 9,709 10,234 27,136 27,182 Data Center Group Platform 5,819 5,637 14,854 15,561 Adjacent 564 502 1,414 1,361 6,383 6,139 16,268 16,922 Internet of Things IOTG 1,005 919 2,901 2,639 Mobileye 229 191 639 515 1,234 1,110 3,540 3,154 Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group 1,290 1,081 3,145 3,200 Programmable Solutions Group 507 496 1,482 1,511 All other 67 103 185 222 Total net revenue $ 19,190 $ 19,163 $ 51,756 $ 52,191 Operating income (loss): Client Computing Group $ 4,305 $ 4,532 $ 11,114 $ 10,557 Data Center Group 3,115 3,082 6,756 8,421 Internet of Things IOTG 309 321 854 791 Mobileye 67 52 188 106 376 373 1,042 897 Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group (499 ) 160 (1,080 ) 14 Programmable Solutions Group 92 106 233 304 All other (942 ) (904 ) (2,827 ) (3,101 ) Total operating income $ 6,447 $ 7,349 $ 15,238 $ 17,092 Disaggregated net revenue for each period was as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (In Millions) Sep 28, Sep 29, Sep 28, Sep 29, Platform revenue Desktop platform $ 2,968 $ 3,225 $ 8,621 $ 9,087 Notebook platform 5,393 5,774 15,456 15,549 DCG platform 5,819 5,637 14,854 15,561 IOTG platform 923 855 2,639 2,319 Other platform 1 18 24 51 67 15,121 15,515 41,621 42,583 Adjacent revenue 2 4,069 3,648 10,135 9,608 Total revenue $ 19,190 $ 19,163 $ 51,756 $ 52,191 1 Includes our tablet and service provider revenue. 2 Includes all of our non-platform products for CCG, DCG, and IOTG such as modem, Ethernet, and silicon photonics, as well as Mobileye, NSG, and PSG products. Planned divestiture of smartphone modem business On July 25, 2019, we signed a definitive agreement to sell the majority of our smartphone modem business. We will continue to meet current customer commitments for our existing 4G smartphone modem product line. We expect to close the transaction, which will include certain employees, intellectual property, equipment and leases, in the fourth quarter of 2019. $235 million net assets of the modem business are classified as held for sale. We expect to record a gain on divestiture of approximately $500 million

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	NOTE 4 : 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.

Our 3.25% junior subordinated convertible debentures due 2039 (2009 debentures) require settlement of the principal amount of the debt in cash upon conversion. Since the conversion premium is paid in cash or stock at our option, we determined the potentially dilutive shares of common stock by applying the treasury stock method. We included our 2009 debentures in the calculation of diluted earnings per share of common stock in all periods presented because the average market price was above the conversion price. Securities which would have been anti-dilutive are insignificant and are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in all periods presented.

The timing and amount of future anticipated revenues may vary from our expectations due to changes in supply, demand, and market pricing. As new prepaid supply agreements are entered into and performance obligations are negotiated, this component of the contract liability balance will increase, and as customers purchase product and utilize their prepaid balances, the balance will decrease. The short-term portion of prepayments from supply agreements is reported on the consolidated condensed balance sheets within other accrued liabilities.

Contingencies [Text Block]	NOTE 12 : 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 that 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 were 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. In November 2017, the parties filed initial “Observations” about the Court of Justice’s decision and the appeal, and were invited by the General Court to offer supplemental comments to each other’s “Observations,” which the parties submitted in March 2018. Responses to other questions posed by the General Court were filed in May and June 2018. We anticipate that the General Court will schedule oral argument for early 2020. 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. 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 in November 2017, affirmed the judgment as to McAfee's nine outside directors, reversed the judgment as to former McAfee director and chief executive officer David DeWalt, Intel, and McAfee, and affirmed the trial court's ruling that the plaintiffs are not entitled to a jury trial. At a June 2018 case management conference following remand, the Superior Court set an October hearing date for any additional summary judgment motions that may be filed, and set trial to begin in December 2018. In July 2018, plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to amend the complaint, which the court denied in September 2018. Also, in July 2018, McAfee and Intel filed a motion for summary judgment on the aiding and abetting claims asserted against them; in October 2018, the court granted the motion as to McAfee and denied the motion as to Intel. The parties agreed in principle to settle the case in late October 2018, and finalized the settlement agreement in March 2019. The court granted plaintiffs' motion for preliminary approval of the settlement in May 2019, and granted plaintiffs' motion for final approval of the settlement in October 2019. The settlement requires an aggregate payment by defendants of $12 million . Intel’s contribution to the settlement is immaterial to its financial statements. Litigation Related to Security Vulnerabilities In June 2017, a Google research team notified us and other companies that it had identified security vulnerabilities (now commonly referred to as “Spectre” and “Meltdown”) that affect many types of microprocessors, including our products. As is standard when findings like these are presented, we worked together with other companies in the industry to verify the research and develop and validate software and firmware updates for impacted technologies. On January 3, 2018, information on the security vulnerabilities was publicly reported, before software and firmware updates to address the vulnerabilities were made widely available. Numerous lawsuits have been filed against Intel and, in certain cases, our current and former executives and directors, in U.S. federal and state courts and in certain courts in other countries relating to the Spectre and Meltdown security vulnerabilities, as well as another variant of these vulnerabilities (“Foreshadow”) that has since been identified. As of October 23, 2019 , consumer class action lawsuits relating to certain security vulnerabilities publicly disclosed in 2018 were pending in the United States, Canada, and Israel. The plaintiffs, who purport to represent various classes of purchasers of our products, generally claim to have been harmed by Intel's actions and/or omissions in connection with the security vulnerabilities and assert a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages and equitable relief. In the U.S., numerous individual class action suits filed in various jurisdictions were consolidated in April 2018 for all pretrial proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon. Intel filed a motion to dismiss that consolidated action in October 2018, and a hearing on that motion was held in February 2019. In Canada, in one case pending in the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario, an initial status conference has not yet been scheduled. In a second case pending in the Superior Court of Justice of Quebec, the court entered an order in October 2018, staying that case for one year. In Israel, both consumer class action lawsuits were filed in the District Court of Haifa. In the first case, the District Court denied the parties' joint motion to stay filed in January 2019, but to date has deferred Intel’s deadline to respond to the complaint in view of Intel’s pending motion to dismiss in the consolidated proceeding in the U.S. Intel filed a motion to stay the second case pending resolution of the consolidated proceeding in the U.S., and a hearing on that motion has been scheduled for November 2019. Additional lawsuits and claims may be asserted seeking monetary damages or other related relief. We dispute the pending claims described above and intend to defend those lawsuits vigorously. Given the procedural posture and the nature of those cases, including that the pending proceedings are in the early stages, that alleged damages have not been specified, that uncertainty exists as to the likelihood of a class or classes being certified or the ultimate size of any class or classes if certified, and that there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the potential loss or range of losses, if any, that might arise from those matters. In addition to these lawsuits, Intel stockholders have filed multiple shareholder derivative lawsuits since January 2018 against certain current and former members of our Board of Directors and certain current and former officers, alleging that the defendants breached their duties to Intel in connection with the disclosure of the security vulnerabilities and the failure to take action in relation to alleged insider trading. The complaints seek to recover damages from the defendants on behalf of Intel.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Accounting Standards Adopted	ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED Leases Standard/Description: This new lease accounting standard requires that we recognize leased assets and corresponding liabilities on the balance sheet and provide enhanced disclosure of lease activity. Effective Date and Adoption Considerations: Effective in the first quarter of 2019. The standard was adopted applying the modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the period of adoption. Our leased assets and corresponding liabilities exclude non-lease components. Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters: Within the opening balances for the fiscal year beginning December 30, 2018, we recognized leased assets and corresponding liabilities in other long-term assets of $706 million , which includes $81 million of previously recognized prepaid land use rights, as well as corresponding accrued liabilities of $180 million and other long-term liabilities of $445 million . Accounting Policy Updates and Disclosures: We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and classify it as finance or operating. Leased assets and corresponding liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Our lease terms may include options to extend when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, and the non-lease components are accounted for separately and not included in our leased assets and corresponding liabilities. Leases primarily consist of real property, and, to a lesser extent, certain machinery and equipment. We recognized leased assets in other long-term assets of $652 million and corresponding accrued liabilities of $174 million , and other long-term liabilities of $399 million as of September 28, 2019 . Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 9 years , some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to 39 years . The weighted average remaining lease term was 4.8 years , and the weighted average discount rate was 3.4% as of September 28, 2019
