Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) is the struggling semiconductor stock that we talked about in our introduction to this piece. While the firm is one of the biggest chip manufacturers in the world, it has struggled lately due to slow demand in the personal computing industry and a lack of exposure to the AI industry. The key to Intel Corporation's (NASDAQ:INTC) hypothesis is its 18A chip manufacturing technology. Marketed as the most advanced technology in the world, the firm aims to not only sell its own processors built using this technology but also to target TSMC's crown in the global contract chip manufacturing industry by offering the technology to make chips for other firms such as NVIDIA. Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) is still the biggest CPU company in the world in terms of CPU market share, but it has lost market share to AMD due to manufacturing delays and TSMC's successful chip manufacturing operations.
