Intel designs and manufactures CPUs, GPUs, and networking chips for PCs, data centers, and edge devices, and increasingly runs a contract foundry business making chips for other companies. It earns most revenue selling its own processors, with foundry and advanced packaging as newer growth lines.

Figures are trailing twelve months (TTM) unless marked otherwise.
Global semiconductor TAM is roughly $600B today and heading toward $1T by 2030, with AI accelerators and foundry services the fastest-growing slices. Intel competes for the CPU, foundry, and advanced packaging portions of that pool against TSMC, AMD, and Nvidia.
RISK ASSESSMENT
HIGFoundry economics: 18A/14A ramp requires tens of billions of capex before customer volume arrives, and external anchor customers remain unproven.
MEDShare loss in data center and PC CPUs to AMD and ARM-based designs, plus Nvidia's encroachment into server CPUs.
LOWGovernment/geopolitical exposure: CHIPS Act subsidies and export controls could shift with policy changes.
🐂 BULL
A credible 18A process with external foundry wins plus US government backing could re-rate Intel from a shrinking CPU vendor to a strategic national foundry asset.
🐻 BEAR
Cash burn from the foundry buildout, negative net margins, and continued CPU share loss mean the turnaround may consume capital faster than customers arrive.
