A clichéd performance

Intel, once a leader in the U.S. chip industry, is falling without wings. With its stock price down more than 30 percent this year alone, Intel has plunged to one-sixteenth of that of Nvidia, a leader in the artificial intelligence era based on market capitalization.

Intel’s performance fell short of expectations largely due to the foundry’s impact. Intel separated its foundry division into separate businesses from the first quarter of this year. The foundry division’s sales in the first quarter were $4.4 billion, which is 35% of total sales. It is down about 10% from the same period last year. Operating loss is $2.5 billion, following -5.1 billion in 2021, -5.2 billion in 2022, and -7 billion in 2023.

However, the CNBC reported that Intel has caught up with South Korea’s Samsung Electronics and Taiwan’s TSMC in the competition to make smaller and faster chips. Since a few years ago, its position has narrowed further as GPUs have attracted attention instead of CPUs.
