Despite this positive news, Intel's stock (NASDAQ: INTC) fell over 2% in Thursday trading. Analysts maintain a Hold rating on the stock, with a consensus of eight Buys, 21 Holds, and four Sells. The average price target is $48.21, suggesting an 8.11% upside potential. Additionally, the OpenPGL project has been revived by the Academy Software Foundation after Intel's shutdown, promising further developments in open-source rendering systems. Chip stock Intel (INTC) offered some good news for those who have enjoyed the Arc Battlemage graphics processing unit (GPU) so far. This particular item does not seem to be going away any time soon. A closer look at Intel's new GPU drivers suggests the Arc series will stick around for quite a while. Investors, though, were oddly displeased about this, based on the loss of over 2% that Intel shares saw in Thursday afternoon's trading. ### President's Day Sale - 70% Off - Unlock hedge fund-level data and powerful investing tools for smarter, sharper decisions - Stay ahead of the market with the latest news and analysis and maximize your portfolio's potential A look at the Intel Arc 32.0.101.8509 WHQL driver package, just released earlier this week, featured an exciting conclusion that the Arc line is here to stay. In fact, the new drivers are offering benefit to older Intel Arc releases as well. The ASRock Arc A770 Phantom OC, in the 16 gigabyte variety, has had "…something of a second spring…" thanks to the addition of multi-frame generation (MFG) support. Reports also noted that the Alchemist variant is doing well too, especially for those who use the XeLL option, which offers a low latency function. Recent tests were conducted using several different PC games, including *Hogwarts Legacy* and *Dying Light: The Beast*. While some games did better than others, there was still solid performance reported across the entire lineup of tested properties. ## **OpenPGL Project Gets Moved** Intel recently shut down operations for the OpenPGL project, but the project managed to find new life elsewhere. The project, which allowed for significant improvement for path-based rendering systems, found use at places like Blender. But Intel shut the project down last year, and the Academy Software Foundation (ASWF) quietly picked up the project. A vote by the Technical Advisory Council allowed the ASWF to step in on OpenPGL, and with it, offer access to its various components once more. Reports suggest this is a good fit, as the ASWF is a hosted project of the Linux Foundation, allowing for more developments in open-source operations. ## **Is Intel a Buy, Hold or Sell?** Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on INTC stock based on eight Buys, 21 Holds and four Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 74.24% rally in its share price over the past year, the average INTC price target of $48.21 per share implies 8.11% upside potential. ### Related Stocks - [SOXL.US - Direxion Semicon Bull 3X](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXL.US.md) - [INTW.US - GraniteShares 2x Long INTC Daily ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INTW.US.md) - [SOXX.US - iShares Semiconductor ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXX.US.md) - [SMH.US - VanEck Semiconductor ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SMH.US.md) - [XSD.US - SPDR S&P Semicon](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XSD.US.md) - [INTC.US - Intel](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INTC.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | 黄仁勋预告 “前所未见” 的芯片新品，下一代 Feynman 架构或成焦点 | 黄仁勋预告今年的 GTC 大会上发布” 世界从未见过” 的全新芯片产品，分析认为新品可能涉及 Rubin 系列衍生产品或更具革命性的 Feynman 架构芯片，市场预期 Feynman 架构将针对推理场景进行深度优化。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276310964.md) | | CPU 供应短缺再升级，英特尔和 AMD 被曝告知中国客户交货延长 | 英特尔和 AMD 已通知中国客户，服务器用中央处理器（CPU）出现供应短缺，交货期可能延长至六个月。供货紧张导致英特尔服务器产品在中国市场价格上涨逾 10%。中国市场占英特尔总营收的 20% 以上，第四代和第五代至强（Xeon）CPU 供应 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275112327.md) | | 三星、海力士 “调整战略”：新存储工厂生产计划提前 | SK 海力士计划将其龙仁一期晶圆厂的试运行时间提前至明年 2-3 月，三星电子将平泽 P4 工厂的投产时间从明年一季度提前至今年四季度，生产规划前移约三个月。调整源于 AI 数据中心扩张导致供应严重短缺，主要客户需求满足率仅 60%。市场普 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276302716.md) | | 都想学英伟达 “芯片换融资”，谷歌和 AMD 都要扶持 “AI 云” | 谷歌正试图复制英伟达的成功路径，利用金融实力构建芯片生态系统。公司正洽谈向 “新型云” 公司 Fluidstack 注资约 1 亿美元，并为 Hut 8 等转型矿企提供项目融资支持，以换取 TPU 芯片的采用。AMD 则更为激进，为初创公司 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276502552.md) | | LPDDR 6 时代来临！AI 需求太猛，下一代 DRAM 将比预期更快进入市场 | LPDDR6 性能较前代提升 1.5 倍，最快下半年正式商用，英伟达、三星及高通等巨头正积极布局。目前多数 HPC 半导体设计企业考虑并行搭载 LPDDR5X 及 LPDDR6 IP，特别是在 4 纳米及以下先进制程芯片的设计中，需求出现得 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276431575.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
