Intel News Roundup

Here are the key news stories impacting Intel this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Intel used CES to launch its new Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, giving the company fresh product momentum and narrative around client CPU competitiveness (helpful for sentiment even if enterprise AI remains the bigger long-term driver). Intel CES Launch
• Positive Sentiment: Notable investors and advisors were reported adding INTC to portfolios (e.g., Kevin Simpson on CNBC), which supports short-term flows and buyer interest. Investor Buys
• Neutral Sentiment: Several outlets reiterate Intel as an AI and foundry play (long-term bullish thesis) but note it lost the lead in training chips — these articles boost the narrative but are more strategic than immediately price-moving. Long-term AI Thesis
• Negative Sentiment: Analyst caution: pieces from Seeking Alpha and Zacks question whether Intel can sustain 2025’s rally amid margin pressures, trade risks and legacy-business headwinds — these raise downside risk if earnings or margins disappoint. Seeking Alpha Critique Zacks Caution
• Negative Sentiment: Separately, reports about Nvidia possibly avoiding Intel’s upcoming 18A node for certain chips create uncertainty around foundry wins and roadmap timing — a technical/partner risk that could weigh on investor expectations for Intel’s IDM 2.0 upside. 18A Snub Report
