Intel has abandoned its forecast of over $500 million in sales for its Gaudi AI accelerator chips in 2024, citing slower uptake due to software issues and a transition to a new chip generation. Despite a positive revenue forecast that temporarily boosted its stock, Intel's shares remain significantly down for the year as it grapples with competition from Nvidia. The company's challenges highlight ongoing difficulties in establishing a competitive AI strategy.
CEO Pat Gelsinger's earlier optimism about Intel's AI prospects has been tempered by disappointing sales figures and questions from analysts regarding the company's AI strategy. While Intel reported third-quarter revenues exceeding estimates, it also faced a substantial loss, raising concerns about its operational control and market position. The situation underscores the need for Intel to solidify its AI offerings to compete effectively in a rapidly evolving market.
