Intel turnaround, packaging edge, Nvidia partner.
Intel is a turnaround story that invested heavily in fabs and adopted high-NA EUV lithography, making its 18A and 14A nodes competitive. More importantly, Intel's advanced packaging technology (e-IB) is superior to TSMC's interposer approach, enabling denser, more reliable chip stitching for next-gen GPUs like Nvidia's Rubin. Nvidia's 5% stake in Intel validates this edge. The market underestimates Intel's packaging advantage, which will drive margin expansion and make Intel a winner in AI infrastructure.
