How to buy Intel stock.
Intel is pushing its Gaudi AI accelerators and Intel Foundry Services as it works to recapture relevance in the AI chip market. Its CPUs remain dominant in data centers for non-GPU workloads. Intel is a higher-risk, lower-certainty AI chip bet compared to Nvidia or AMD, but its foundry ambitions and Gaudi roadmap give it optionality if execution improves.
Why Intel is an AI stock.
Intel's Gaudi series targets inference workloads at lower total cost of ownership than Nvidia GPUs. Its foundry ambitions would make it a domestic US chip manufacturer for advanced AI silicon if production yields improve. Government subsidies through the CHIPS Act add a policy tailwind.
Intel is in the AI chip designers category. The GPUs and custom accelerators that train and serve every frontier AI model. Chip designers sit at the center of the AI hardware stack.
