Intel stock rises after CEO flags a new GPU push to take on Nvidia
Intel shares ticked up about 0.9% to $49.25 in after-hours trading Tuesday after CEO Lip-Bu Tan spoke to Reuters. He disclosed Intel’s plans to build graphics processing units for data centers and confirmed they’ve brought on Qualcomm veteran Eric Demmers as chief GPU architect. “I just hired the chief GPU architect, and he’s very good,” Tan said. He added that Intel is already talking with several customers and expects volume production using its 14A process to accelerate later in 2026.
