$INTC has emerged as one of 2026’s biggest AI winners by benefiting across Xeon CPUs, purpose-built silicon and advanced packaging. That exposure is expanding because every accelerator rack still needs general-purpose compute to manage data, storage and workloads making agentic AI a new growth driver for server CPUs. The same buildout is pulling Intel deeper into custom silicon which nearly tripled YoY to a ~$2B annual run rate and advanced packaging where management already sees billions in backlog potential.
