Brilliantly 42 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: boring since eighteen sixty five is a service mark of 43 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: the PNC Financial Service Group, Inc. P and C Bank 44 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: National Association member FDIC. 45 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 3: All right, so let's talk about Intel U. Intel stock 46 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 3: ones up after Nvidia announced the five billion dollar investment 47 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 3: and a struggling chip maker. So is this the lifeline 48 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 3: that Intel needed or is it just a flash in 49 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 3: the pan moment. 50 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 4: Woo doo, all your crew, who do you do? I 51 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 4: know for some reason people want Intel to thrive, but 52 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 4: it is an inferior ship maker if you look at 53 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 4: the class of chip makers, and Video's business is to 54 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 4: make sure that they are operating at the highest level. 55 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 4: And one way to do that is to build remote 56 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 4: and we saw with Elon going to tell Trump, I 57 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 4: miss you in that suite. It's better to have a 58 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 4: great connection with the president than not. So the investment 59 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 4: into Intel is a hedge to make sure that Nvidia 60 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 4: stays in the lead. Also, a term that many people 61 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 4: need to learn mean reversion. So it got up to 62 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 4: thirty two dollars and thirty nine cent. It is curly 63 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 4: at twenty eight dollars and seventy six cent. I think 64 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 4: it would drop back to twenty four within the next 65 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 4: month and a half. Does it breed some life into it, Yes, 66 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 4: but only because of the United States government has an investment 67 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 4: in Intel were wise enough to invest into an American investment, 68 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 4: while they for the moment have lost the investment into China. 69 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 2: So this was a hedge. 70 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 4: Is Intel better than Video, No better than AMD, no 71 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 4: better than other chip makers in their class. 72 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 3: No. 73 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 4: So I know some of you think that I have 74 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 4: a personal vendetta against Intel. I don't. I think they 75 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 4: just have lost their way, and even though in Video 76 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 4: is investment into them, it does not make them a 77 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 4: world class company. 78 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 2: I agree with you. 79 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to take your quote and I'm going to 80 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: say this that everybody in your space is your competition. 81 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 2: Yep. And I'm going to take a little different approach 82 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 2: because I do agree with you. 83 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: I think it's both a hedge and I think it's 84 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: both a way to keep give them a lifeline. We've 85 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: seen this now three times over the past two years, 86 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: with Intel getting lifelines, first with the Infrastructure bill and 87 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: then being the largest application for. 88 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 2: That infrastructure bill. 89 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: Then we saw the government saying that they're going to 90 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: take ten percent of that company, and now we've seen. 91 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: Right and that exact. 92 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: So this is three lifelines that has been given. This 93 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: is bigger than an Intel situation. When we talked about 94 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: Intel and who their direct competitors were, it wasn't a 95 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: GPU market we were talking about. It was a CPU market, 96 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: and we told about AMD being the new leader inside 97 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: the CPU market, And so does that hurt their business? Well, 98 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: if in Video is helping it from an infrastructure standpoint, 99 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: yeah it could. 100 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: It could hurt AMD slightly. 101 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: But what it does say is like that second place 102 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: spot in GPUs that was also a MD right, and 103 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: so if I want you to focus on something another 104 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: core piece of business, I'm gonna help with your competitor 105 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: to make sure that you stay in that spot and 106 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: you never crash the market ship that we have, which 107 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: is now up to ninety percent, I believe. 108 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 2: And so I think it's a it's one of those things. 109 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: Let me hurt my competitors in terms of A and 110 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: D when I'm talking about in video family time. 111 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: So it's really interesting. I think the part and. 112 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: I got a lot of text messages Troyes are trying 113 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: to invest in Intel. Troyes and time to invest Intel. 114 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: I know you guys saying it's dead, it's on a lifeline. 115 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: I'm not invested in Intel. The major thing that I 116 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: said about Intel, and I'll repeat it, and I still 117 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: didn't hear an answer, even with the five billion dollar allocation, 118 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: is who is going to solve the manufacturing gap that 119 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: Intel has? 120 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 5: No one right If all these other semi conductors are 121 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 5: downsizing to seven animeter, five animeter, three animeter and. 122 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: You're still at ten, who is helping that manufacturing gap 123 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: and how fast can they make that happen. 124 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 2: I didn't hear one thing about that. 125 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: Perhaps that's what Nvidio has now come on board for, 126 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: but that is going to take some time, especially with 127 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: a company like this, And as you're trying to get better, 128 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: companies are already here and they're better, and they're going 129 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: to get better. So it's a tough proposition. I'm not 130 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,119 Speaker 1: I'm not sold on Intel. I won't be sold on Intel. 131 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: There's too many opportunities, too many companies that are ahead 132 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: of it right now and that are going to thrive 133 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: for me to say let me move money here and 134 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: allocation here and hopes that it catches up. 135 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 4: TSM is better, AMD is better, and video is better. Also, 136 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 4: we told you Total is better, all common is better, 137 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 4: Meta is better. It's just a it's thirty or forty 138 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 4: companies that are better than Intel. I also told you 139 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 4: a few months ago that they were going to invest 140 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 4: into Intel as a hedge. And if you look from 141 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 4: an operational standpoint, like from a brand strategy standpoint, not 142 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 4: only do they have the best product, but one way 143 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 4: to eliminate competition is to also invest into you in 144 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,119 Speaker 4: case you do well. Microsoft did. This is what Apple 145 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 4: when Apple was on their deathbed as well. The difference 146 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 4: is Jensen isn't going to take his eye off the 147 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 4: ball and isn't going to give up a lead the 148 00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 4: way Balmber did when he took the rains over a Microsoft. 149 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 4: And the other issue you're going on to workout for 150 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 4: you lose COI for the record, so I know everyone 151 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 4: wants like yo, Intel has a chance. Intel is PS 152 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 4: four When we're going into PS six generational type run, 153 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 4: they won't be able to catch up really quick. For 154 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 4: everyone out there who has a computer, do you have 155 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 4: an Intel anything in your computer right now? 156 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: Right? 157 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: And there isn't a business switch yet right like we 158 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: literally watch Oracle change their business structure right, Like, we're 159 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: watching Dell fundamentally change their bits. 160 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 2: The structure is better. 161 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 4: So you can name a bunch of companies who are 162 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 4: just outperforming at scale and don't think that in video 163 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 4: with investment because the bad part about our competitor investments 164 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 4: and business, they get to see some of the operational 165 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 4: systems that you have in placed. Don't think that they're 166 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 4: not coming for the CPU market. It's like you want 167 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 4: to put the pillo over your face when you're on 168 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 4: life support. Give it to years and Video is going 169 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 4: to get that CPU market as well. 170 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, player sign and we saw that when they had 171 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: their announcement. I think it might have been right after 172 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: GtC when they had those core CPU processors.
