(Reuters) - Chipmaker Intel Corp <INTC.O> said on Thursday its board has approved a $15 billion increase to its share repurchase program.

The company said it had $4.7 billion remaining under its existing repurchase authorization as of Sept. 29.

Intel said it returned about $177 billion to stockholders through dividends and stock repurchases from 1990 through the third-quarter of 2018.
