Without customers, the huge expenditures laid out would result in a lot of production capacity that would ultimately go nowhere and cost a fortune to get there. But a growing body of evidence suggests that Intel's customer list is starting to grow. Investors piled in, and gave Intel shares a nearly 13% boost in Monday afternoon's trading. ### Introducing TipRanks MCP for Agents 200% short exposure to NVDA with NVDS Looking for exposure to SpaceX & Anthropic? Check out AGIX ETF The biggest cause of the sudden boost is a recent report that noted Alphabet (GOOGL) may have already placed an order for three million tensor processing unit (TPU) chips. This order will be due in 2028, reports note, though the order is as yet unconfirmed. That by itself would be a welcome enough development, but things only got better for Intel as word emerged that Nvidia (NVDA) was also considering Intel as a "contract manufacturer" to take four Nvidia chips and assemble them into one single unit. Further word said that Tesla (TSLA) was also interested in a chip buy, of sorts, as Tesla wanted to license the 14A process for use at the upcoming Terafab facility. All of these points together combined into a really, really great day for Intel. ## **More Games on the IBOT** And if all that were not good enough, Intel added icing for the cake, revealing that seven more games will be part of the Binary Optimization Tool (IBOT). This brings the total count of games that work with the IBOT to 19. Included in the newest figures were _Warframe, The Callisto Protocol, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, Little Nightmares III, Homeworld 3_, and _Hollow Knight: Silksong_. The IBOT offers up a set of previously compiled game binaries to optimize Intel processors for use with the games in question. Reports suggest that using the IBOT system offers an average performance improvement of 12% across the seven titles, including a 27% improvement for _Hollow Knight: Silksong_. ## **Is Intel a Buy, Hold or Sell?** Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on INTC stock based on 10 Buys, 25 Holds and three Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 384.23% rally in its share price over the past year, the average INTC price target of $88.94 per share implies 20.63% downside risk. ### Related Stocks - [04335.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/04335.HK.md) - [INTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INTC.US.md) - [TSLA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLA.US.md) - [GOOG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOG.US.md) - [TSL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSL.US.md) - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [GOOGL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOGL.US.md) - [NVDS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDS.US.md) - [NVDW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDW.US.md) - [FTXL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FTXL.US.md) - [PSI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PSI.US.md) - [XSD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XSD.US.md) - [SOXQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXQ.US.md) - [SOXL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXL.US.md) - [SOXX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXX.US.md) - [SMH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SMH.US.md) - [NYYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NYYY.US.md) - [NVYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVYY.US.md) - [TSYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSYY.US.md) - [TSLO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLO.US.md) - [TSLY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLY.US.md) - [NVDU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDU.US.md) - [TSLW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLW.US.md) - [NVDO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDO.US.md) - [NVDG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDG.US.md) - [NVDB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDB.US.md) - [GOOY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOY.US.md) - [GOOW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOW.US.md) - [TSLI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLI.US.md) - [CRSH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CRSH.US.md) - [TYYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TYYY.US.md) - [INTW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INTW.US.md) - [TESL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TESL.US.md) - [NVDQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDQ.US.md) - [NVDY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDY.US.md) - [07766.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07766.HK.md) - [TSLS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLS.US.md) - [NVD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.US.md) - [TSLZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLZ.US.md) - [GGLS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GGLS.US.md) - [TSLT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLT.US.md) - [NVDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDD.US.md) - [TSLL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLL.US.md) - [TSLR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLR.US.md) - [07788.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07788.HK.md) - [NVDX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDX.US.md) - [TSDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSDD.US.md) - [GGLL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GGLL.US.md) - [NVDL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDL.US.md) - [07388.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07388.HK.md) - [TSLG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLG.US.md) - [TSLQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLQ.US.md) - [AGIX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AGIX.US.md) - [NVD.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.DE.md) ## Related News & Research - [Nvidia Is the 'King of Diversity,' Says 5-Star Bank of America Analyst amid Unprecedented Chip Squeeze](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289053221.md) - [Why did Micron stock bounce back today?](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289078520.md) - [Intel Just Landed a Major Foxconn AI Win.
