The Intel headquarters in Santa Clara, California.

Intel Corp. shares rallied Tuesday after the company confirmed it will cut more jobs to reduce costs and shake up its key data center unit.

The stock rose 8.6% after the company said it will eliminate an unspecified number of positions at its data center group, or DCG. That extended a rally that’s seen the stock more than double this year on signs that it’s making progress in a turnaround under Chief Executive Officer Lip-Bu Tan.
