Intel's stock just bounced back after a rough week, reminding Wall Street that it still holds a strong grip on the computer processor market. At the exact same time, the biggest tech companies in the world announced they are pouring unprecedented amounts of money into AI and data centers.

## Idea

Even though AI software stocks took a hit today, the physical infrastructure to run AI is exploding. The biggest tech giants are spending tens of billions to build out data centers, and they need massive amounts of computing hardware to do it. Intel has been beaten down lately, but its core processor business is showing renewed strength right as this massive wave of hardware spending hits the industry.
