Intel’s turnaround looks increasingly real, but US$100 is ambitious. It is achievable if execution stays strong, AI server CPU demand expands, and margins continue recovering. That said, much optimism is already priced in, so further upside needs clear earnings beats.

On CPU vs Memory, I would not call it a replacement cycle. CPUs are becoming critical as the “brains” for AI orchestration and inference, while memory, especially HBM/DRAM, remains the bandwidth backbone. Both can run, but leadership may rotate.

My pick:
• Near term momentum: CPU
• Higher upside torque: Memory
• Safer long-term compounder: CPU

Intel at a new ATH? Possible.
Intel above US$100? Possible, but execution must be near flawless.

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?
