The available supply is forecast to hit its nadir in the first quarter, followed by a steady upturn from the second quarter onwards. In the context of the widespread implementation of AI technologies, the significance of the x86 ecosystem is gaining more and more prominence, and the demand in the core market continues to be strong. On January 22 (local time), Intel announced that its revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 stood at $13.7 billion, marking a 4% decline year-on-year. The company expects its revenue for the first quarter of 2026 to fall within the range of $11.7 billion to $12.7 billion, with adjusted earnings per share at $0.00. After the release of these financial figures, Intel's stock price plummeted by over 13% in after-hours trading.
