The four other agencies invited to pitch are Starcom, OMD, MEC and ZenithOptimedia.
When the review began in December reports suggested that Intel was unhappy with two-year incumbent Universal McCann's performance.
Intel is planning also to hold a pitch for the creative account, held by McCann Erickson, after the media review is finished.
Intel's entire marketing business has been run by Interpublic agencies since the group won the $300m account in March 2005.
It had previously been with holding company Havas; the media account was with Media Planning Group and the creative account with Euro RSCG.
