Intel said Monday that it has hired a top Qualcomm executive for a new position that will have him oversee the alignment of its long-running and critical PC business with the emerging field of physical AI, which its CEO has made a priority. crn.com/news/component…




Exclusive: As the AI data center boom continues to put a damper on hardware availability, an upstart rival to Nvidia in the networking space said it’s allocating supply for channel partners who are working on AI and high-performance computing projects. crn.com/news/networkin…








The details of Intel’s involvement also in this report: On the call, Musk was asked for more details of Intel’s involvement and responded by saying he planned to leverage that company’s most advanced production process — known as 14A — for which Intel is yet to secure any customers. The remarks helped send the chipmaker’s shares up about 3% in late trading Wednesday. Musk didn’t make it clear whether he planned to use Intel’s existing plants or license its production technology for the effort. “We plan to use Intel’s 14A process, which is a state of the art and, in fact, not yet totally complete,” Musk said. “But given that by the time Terafab scales up, 14A will be probably fairly mature or ready for prime time, it seems like the right move.”
