SambaNova (AI chip startup) is partnering with Intel to deploy its new SN50 chips, which claim to be 5x faster than rivals. Intel is desperate for a win in the AI foundry/partnership space. If SambaNova's technology succeeds, it pulls Intel back into the conversation as a manufacturing partner for next-gen AI silicon. WATCH. Speculative turnaround play if the partnership yields volume. Intel's execution history is poor; Nvidia's dominance is entrenched.
