格隆汇2月24日｜英特尔与人工智能(AI)芯片初创公司SambaNova Systems建立策略合作关系，并参与其 最新一轮3.5亿美元募资。根据双方发布的声明，SambaNova将在未来多年合作中采用英特尔的服务器 处理器与显示卡产品，双方也将在销售与营销层面携手推动解决方案落地。英特尔早在2019年便已投资 SambaNova，此次则进一步加码参与新一轮资金。值得注意的是，英特尔CEO陈立武同时担任 SambaNova董事长。他早在2017年即出任该公司董事长，并透过其创立的创投机构Walden International 参与早期投资。英特尔发言人表示，陈立武在此次合作讨论过程中已主动回避相关决策。 ...

摩根大通发表研报，重申对英特尔"减持"评级，目标价由30美元上调至35美元。报告指出，英特尔正面 临内部晶圆产能短缺，限制其AI数据中心业务的增长动能，同时在存储器价格压力下，个人计算机需 求前景亦趋疲弱。整体而言，该行预期英特尔数据中心与人工智能业务的增长，可抵消客户端运算业务 的下滑，推动全年录得低至中个位数的按年增长。随着产量提升、18A制程良率改善及服务器处理器价 格上调，毛利率有望在2026年逐步改善，但预计年底毛利率仅能勉强达到40%水平。 ...

1 月 23 日，在市场对业绩抱有较高预期的背景下，英特尔公布的 2025 财年第四季度业绩略高于分析师 预测，但公司同时警告，其自身产能限制正成为短期增长的主要约束因素。 据 Investing.com 与路透社披露的财报电话会议记录，英特尔目前难以完全满足 AI 数据中心对服务器处 理器的强劲需求。英特尔 CDO 大卫 · 津斯纳（David Zinsner）表示，公司内部供应瓶颈在 2026 财年第 一季度尤为突出。 英特尔预计第一季度营收区间为 117 亿美元至 127 亿美元，反映出一个相对疲软的季节性季度。同时， 公司预计第一季度经调整后每股收益将接近盈亏平衡，而分析师此前预计为 0.05 美元。 库存回落与内存短缺影响前景 津斯纳在会议上表示，2025 年下半年，英特尔通过额外的晶圆产出和动用库存来满足强劲的产品需 求。但进入 2026 年，这一库存缓冲已被消耗殆尽。 此外，自 2025 年第三季度起向服务器晶圆的产能切换，预计要到第一季度末才能完全体现在成品交付 中，这也是公司在本季度给出相对保守指引的重要原因之一。 津斯纳还表示，英特尔代工业务在 2025 年第四季度实现营收 45 亿美元， ...
