Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>The massive $13.6bn revenue beat proved the market fundamentally mispriced how agentic AI is turning the CPU into an urgently necessary orchestration bottleneck.</li>
<li>With orchestration dominating workload latency, an incremental $60 billion CPU TAM plays directly into Intel’s massive x86 installed base and NVLink partnerships.</li>
<li>Intel’s 20% server (and/or more) price hikes remain intact; the actual threat to this re-rating is entirely tied to 18A production yields. Lower Q2 marginal guidance not a structural indicator. </li>
