(TSMC), which currently produces 90% of the world\u2019s most advanced chips.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo safeguard America\u2019s advantage, the Trump administration will ensure that the most powerful AI systems are built in the US with American-designed and manufactured chips,\u201d Vance said.<\/p>\n<p>TSMC is building plants in Arizona, but they will represent only a small fraction of the company\u2019s total capacity. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Intel has been trying to position itself as an alternative to TSMC by offering chip-manufacturing services to other semiconductor firms.<\/p>\n<p>In March 2024, Intel announced a $100 billion investment to expand its US chip-making facilities, including building what it claims will be \u201cthe largest AI chip manufacturing site in the world\u201d near Columbus, Ohio. <\/p>\n<p>The company is also modernizing its factories in New Mexico, Oregon, and Arizona.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI competition and leadership changes <\/h2>\n<p>Despite Intel\u2019s recent stock gains, the company has struggled to keep pace with competitors like Nvidia and Broadcom, which have benefited from the soaring demand for AI chips. <\/p>\n<p>Intel lost 60% of its value last year and has posted three consecutive quarters of declining revenue.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the uncertainty, Intel recently announced the departure of CEO Pat Gelsinger after a turbulent tenure. <\/p>\n<p>The company has appointed interim co-CEOs, finance chief David Zinsner and Intel Products CEO Michelle Johnston Holthaus, as it searches for a permanent leader.<\/p>\n<p>While Intel has secured billions in government subsidies to build US chip plants, its ability to regain market share in the AI space remains uncertain.<\/p>\n<p>Investors are watching closely to see if the company can turn its fortunes around with its upcoming Arrow Lake-HX processors, which recently received promising early reviews.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Intel\u2019s AI chip ambitions <\/h2>\n<p>Beyond the administration\u2019s AI push, Intel\u2019s recent stock surge was also driven by optimism surrounding its next-generation processors. <\/p>\n<p>Investor excitement has been fuelled by promising preliminary benchmarks for Intel\u2019s upcoming Arrow Lake-HX processors, which are expected to power next-generation gaming laptops.<\/p>\n<p>A review by Tom\u2019s Hardware showed that Intel\u2019s new Core Ultra 9 275HX processor performed well against competitors, raising hopes that the company could gain ground in the high-performance computing sector.<\/p>\n<p>However, industry analysts caution that early benchmark results are based on a single sample and that more comprehensive testing is needed before drawing definitive conclusions. <\/p>\n<p>The full launch of Arrow Lake-HX-equipped laptops, expected to coincide with Nvidia\u2019s RTX 50 mobile series release, will be a key moment for Intel\u2019s AI-driven strategy.<\/p>\n<p>As the battle for AI supremacy intensifies, all eyes will be on Intel and the broader semiconductor industry to see how the US positions itself in the global race for next-generation computing power.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/news\/2025\/02\/11\/intel-stock-surges-as-vance-pledges-to-protect-us-ai-technology-boost-domestic-production\/\">Intel stock surges as Vance pledges to protect US AI technology, boost domestic production<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/\">Invezz<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/news\/2025\/02\/11\/intel-stock-surges-as-vance-pledges-to-protect-us-ai-technology-boost-domestic-production\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Invezz ) Shares of Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) rose 8% on Tuesday after Vice President JD Vance emphasized the Trump administration\u2019s commitment to protecting American artificial intelligence technology from foreign threats.
