• At Computex, Intel unveiled its next-gen Xeon 6+ chip and a new server rack system designed in partnership with SambaNova.
• Stocktwits sentiment for INTC remained ‘bearish.’

Intel shares fell nearly 2% in premarket trading on Tuesday, extending losses from the previous session as investors viewed Nvidia’s newly unveiled PC processors as a potential threat to Intel’s core business.

Stock performance notwithstanding, Intel continued to roll out new products at Computex in Taipei, Taiwan. After unveiling its next-generation Xeon 6+ CPU on Monday, the company introduced a new server rack architecture and agentic AI technologies for enterprise deployments on Tuesday.

Intel’s Announcements At Computex

Intel introduced a new full-rack AI data center infrastructure designed to handle heavy AI inference and "agentic" workloads. The system is built by combining Intel Xeon processors with SambaNova SN-50 Reconfigurable Dataflow Units (RDUs).

Intel said it is partnering with Foxconn to build and integrate the new server racks. It also showcased a new "disaggregated inference" setup for enterprise cloud computing. This system divides AI tasks across different types of chips to maximize speed. It uses Intel Xeon 6 processors for organization, SambaNova RDUs for decoding, and NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs for prefilling data. 

Meanwhile, Intel highlighted that its Xeon 6+ chips are built using the 18A manufacturing process.

Retail Trader View On INTC

On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment for INTC remained ‘bearish’ on Tuesday, unchanged from the previous day, with traders debating whether the dip represents a buying opportunity or a deeper correction.

“INTC needs to cool down and revisit the $80s before climb[ing] again,” said a trader, referencing the incredible growth in the stock in recent months. Another trader said CEO Lip-bu Tan’s Computex presentation was underwhelming.

“$INTC Everyone seems to be disappointed with Lip-Bu’s presentation. Not impressed so far. Very Gelsinger-esque. Pretty tough to watch. Feels so budget. On top of that the presentation had network problems,” they said.

Intel stock slid 4.6% on Monday after Nvidia announced its first PC processor, the RTX Spark superchip, which will debut in laptops from nearly all major manufacturers this fall.

Still, INTC stock is up nearly threefold year to date.
