Key Points
Shares in Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) rose 21.8% in June, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. The increase appears to stem from two main drivers that underscore the company’s long‑term growth prospects.
Potential Collaboration Between Intel and Apple
While no formal agreement has been confirmed, reports in mid‑June suggested that Apple and Intel might work together to design and manufacture chips in the United States. A confirmed partnership would strengthen Intel’s foundry segment as it seeks to scale operations and compete more effectively with industry leaders such as Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE: TSM). The potential collaboration aligns with U.S. policy initiatives aimed at encouraging domestic technology manufacturing and complements recent public‑private partnerships involving Apple and other key technology providers.

Intel’s primary focus remains on producing central processing units (CPUs), which play a vital role in AI inference workloads—even as graphics processing units (GPUs) dominate
recruitment for training large‑language models (LLMs). The company’s CFO, David Zinsner, noted that the GPU‑to‑CPU ratio in training environments can reach up to 8:1, while inference scenarios see a ratio dropping to around 3:1. At a Bank of America technology conference, Zinsner emphasized that the shift from training to inference, and subsequently to agentic and multi‑agent applications, will substantially increase CPU demand.

The growing acknowledgment of inference‑driven AI spending signals that Intel’s role in CPU manufacturing may receive enhanced visibility and support in the coming years.
Where Next for Intel
A tangible partnership with Apple would provide a positive catalyst for the stock, as would the broader market’s recognition of the increasing importance of CPU requirements for AI inference. Together, these factors suggest a potential upside for Intel if theseಬಹಿಷ್ಟ intervals materialize.
