Intel is reportedly considering a significant investment of up to US$100 million in AI startup SambaNova Systems to bolster its presence in artificial intelligence and high-end computing. This move, alongside the hiring of a new Chief GPU Architect, signals Intel’s intensified focus on AI compute and GPUs, aiming to compete in areas like AI training and inference. However, persistent supply constraints and a current stock valuation significantly above estimated fair value present challenges to Intel’s execution and market traction in these rapidly growing sectors.
