Intel shares jumped 20% on April 24, 2026, fueled by projected revenue surges from AI data centers, Semafor reported. U.S. chip giant has staged a recent revival after years of trailing rival TSMC. Its new manufacturing processes rank among the most advanced in the industry and are comparable to those of TSMC.
Intel required a government rescue in 2025, marking a low point before its turnaround. The stock received a particular boost this week when Elon Musk said his Terafab project would use Intel's new process to make semiconductors. Those semiconductors are intended for all of Elon Musk's companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI.
The statement by Elon Musk occurred this week before April 24, 2026, highlighting potential large-scale production that could position Terafab as a major facility if plans proceed as outlined.
