Intel has faced challenges over the past decade, notably failing to effectively compete with Nvidia in the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence (AI) chip market. This shortfall has contributed to Intel's recent struggles, including a decline in innovation, missed opportunities in mobile technology, and difficulties in maintaining leadership in processor design and advanced chip manufacturing. The company's outlook has recently been downgraded due to concerns over tariffs and a cautious forecast, leading to a significant drop in Intel's stock price by approximately 7.4% in pre-market trading. Analysts have described Intel's turnaround as a formidable challenge, advising investors to avoid the stock amid uncertainty about the company’s AI strategy. Despite these difficulties, Intel’s new CEO has announced plans to pursue in-house AI chip development and full-stack platforms without relying on acquisitions, signaling a renewed effort to challenge Nvidia's dominance. Meanwhile, Huawei is preparing to launch its 910C AI chip by May, aiming to compete with Nvidia and advance China's AI self-sufficiency. Intel’s current situation reflects a broader competitive landscape in AI chip development, with multiple players vying for leadership.
