Intel Corporation (INTC) is experiencing strong demand for its Xeon 6 processors, designed for high-performance computing (HPC) and AI workloads. These processors support up to 128 performance cores per CPU and include built-in accelerators for various applications, including AI and network security, enhancing their capability for high demand AI tasks.
Recently, Intel Xeon 6 processors were chosen by NVIDIA for their AI-accelerated systems and by Imperial College London to power its new HX2 supercomputer, highlighting their capability in supporting significant HPC and AI research. However, Intel’s stock has decreased by 32.4% over the past year, trailing behind the industry’s growth of 7.3%, and current earnings estimates for Intel for 2025 and 2026 have fallen by 40.8% and 31.2%, respectively, to 29 cents and 77 cents per share.
