Intel Shares Slip as Nova Lake Delay Pushes Timeline to 2027

Intel's Nova Lake processor line is delayed to after CES 2027, causing about a 2% drop in INTC shares. Some Nova Lake variants may release this year, but the full Nova Lake-S line won’t appear until CES 2027. Analysts maintain a Hold rating with roughly 11% upside to a target around $48.21, even as Oregon faces concerns about Intel's long-term impact in the Silicon Forest amid ongoing job cuts. The delay highlights ongoing supply-demand tightness in the chip industry amid AI-driven demand.

Nvidia targets AI-ready laptops with ARM- and Intel-based chips

Nvidia is expanding from data-center AI chips into consumer laptops, teaming with MediaTek on ARM-based system-on-a-chip designs and with Intel to pair processors with Nvidia’s graphics and AI tools for laptops from Dell, Lenovo, and HP. The goal is a 150 million annual laptop market, emphasizing thin, long-lasting AI-enabled machines rather than immediate profits, with price points likely in the $1,000–$1,500 range and a focus on long-term ecosystem integration; NVDA stock rose modestly ahead of earnings.

Micron's AI Memory Bet: Could It Outpace Nvidia or Intel?

Micron Technology is riding an AI‑driven upcycle in high‑bandwidth memory that could last longer than past cycles, fueling debate over whether it will resemble Nvidia or Intel. While competition from Samsung and SK Hynix and memory cycles pose risks, the article argues that sustained AI demand for Micron's HBM could keep the growth alive—potentially making Micron more Nvidia‑like than Intel, at least for now.

Panther Lake's Core Ultra 5 338H + Arc B370 Close the Gap to Arc B390 in Early Benchmarks

Notebookcheck’s early tests of Intel’s Panther Lake Core Ultra 5 338H with Arc B370 (10 Xe cores) show solid CPU performance comparable to Ryzen AI 9 465 at similar TDP, while the Arc B370 GPU delivers a notable uplift but trails the Arc B390 by a small margin. At 20W the B370 is virtually identical to the B390, and at 35W the gap grows to about 6%. The unit tested was an engineering sample running at 35W, with retail units expected in the coming weeks.

Intel’s 14A Leap Gets a Buzz as MediaTek Tie‑up Rumor Surfaces

Intel stock inched higher on rumors it could land MediaTek as a new 14A-process customer, a potential boost if true but the claim is early and unconfirmed. The Dimensity mobile SoC would pose technical BSPD cooling challenges, and Arrow Lake benchmarks show mixed results. Analysts’ consensus remains Hold with a $48.32 target, implying modest downside from current levels.

Intel Pulls Dozens of Open-Source Projects Amid Strategic Pivot

Intel has archived around two dozen open-source projects it previously maintained, including On Demand SDSi, GPGMM, Polite Guard, Intel UI Icons, and more, as part of a broader strategic shift. The changes, occurring since December 2025 into January 2026, reflect a reduced engineering footprint and a move away from certain open-source efforts, with OpenVINO remaining active while many other projects were discontinued or left unmaintained.

Dell XPS 14 sets Windows battery life record in Tom's Guide test

Dell's new XPS 14 posts a record 21 hours 20 minutes of battery life in Tom's Guide's lab test—the longest seen on a Windows laptop—thanks to a Panther Lake-based Core Ultra 7 355, 16GB RAM and a 14-inch LED panel. The entry-level model ($1,699; shipping Feb 19) trails Intel's promised 27 hours but beats the Dell XPS 13 with Snapdragon X Elite and other rivals, signaling Windows endurance has caught up with Apple's MacBooks. Dell says the XPS 14 offers best battery life among Windows laptops, though Apple may respond with future M-series upgrades.
