Intel stock, in particular, lost 13.5% by the close of the week. Shares of what was once the world's biggest manufacturer of semiconductor chips bounced back with a vengeance this morning, however, and are up 11.5% as of 10:40 a.m. You can thank **Alphabet** (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) for that. _**Will AI create the world's first trillionaire?** Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. **Continue »**_ Image source: Intel. ## Google wants Intel inside As The Information reports this morning, Alphabet may have just placed an order for Intel to manufacture 3 million tensor processing unit (TPU) artificial intelligence chips in 2028. The rumor is not yet confirmed -- and we don't actually know how much a 3-million TPU order would be worth to Intel even if it _is_ true -- but that's not stopping investors from buying into Intel stock today. This isn't surprising. After all, according to StreetInsider.com, Alphabet's order may be only the start. Rumors are _also_ floating that Intel may act as a contract manufacturer for **Nvidia** (NASDAQ: NVDA), building a new processor combining four Nvidia GPUs in a single unit. And as if that weren't enough, SI also reports that **Tesla** (NASDAQ: TSLA) may want to partner with, or license Intel's next-generation 14A manufacturing process to make Tesla chips at Terafab. ## What's next for Intel? Long story short, opportunities abound for Intel, and if even just _one_ of these rumors proves true, it could help the company turnaround. Does this make Intel stock a buy after its stock has already run up 464% this past year? Does it make Intel stock a buy even though it's unprofitable, and trading for more than 120 times _next_ year's earnings? I admit I have my doubts, but today's still a good day for Intel. ## Should you buy stock in Intel right now?
