From my perspective, the strength in $Intel(INTC)$ and $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ reflects a real shift—CPUs are no longer just supporting chips. In agentic AI, they act as the orchestration layer, coordinating tasks and workflows around GPUs. That’s why the market is starting to re-rate CPUs, even as memory names like SK Hynix remain fundamentally strong.

I don’t see CPUs replacing memory—they’re becoming equally important. HBM demand is still tight, but CPUs were previously underappreciated in the AI stack, so this looks more like a catch-up trade than a full rotation.

On valuation, I’d stay selective. $Intel(INTC)$ can keep rerating if execution holds, but a move to $100 likely needs sustained data center strength. I stay constructive overall, but prefer buying pullbacks rather than chasing.

Intel Surges 20% Post-Earnings — Is the CPU Making a Major Comeback?

Intel's quarterly results significantly exceeded expectations, with earnings power far surpassing consensus estimates and delivering the strongest profitability metrics in five years. The standout was not merely the top-line beat, but earnings quality — signaling that Intel is not only selling more, but that product competitiveness is visibly recovering. CPU scarcity appears to be the key driver. Can Intel sustain this momentum toward $100 this year, and with CPUs back in focus, which other stocks stand to benefit?
