Intel's stock price has risen recently after many days of addiction, with its stock price rising 7.8% to $22.08. With the double blessing of coaching change and cost streamlining, Intel is expected to usher in new opportunities.
Lip-Bu Tan is in charge this year$Intel (INTC) $(INTC) Shuai Yin, whose resume of successfully reversing the company's decline during his tenure as CEO of Cadence Design Systems (CDNS) from 2009 to 2021 has attracted much attention.
In the field of AI, Chen Liwu, with the support of the new chief technology and AI officer Sachin Katti, has launched a hardware and software plan optimized for AI. In the long run, as technology giants such as Alphabet (GOOG) and Amazon (AMZN) seek reliable foundry partners, Intel's existing layout in quantum computing-such as the 12-qubit "Tunnel Falls" chip-may gain development opportunities.
Intel will also benefit from the current trend of semiconductor localization driven by the U.S. government. In addition, Goldman Sachs (GS) predicts that the humanoid robot market will reach US $38 billion by 2035. If Intel's processors and RealSense depth cameras can become the standard "brains" of the new generation of robot systems, it may open up additional room for growth.
