Intel Cashes Lifelines But Still Waiting For Chips
Intelās 2025 Q3 earnings call was less Tony Stark startup and more 'Please Sir, May I Have Another Chip?' After nearly two years without profitāthanks to desperate bailouts from Nvidia, Softbank, and Uncle Samāthe chip giant finally posted gains primarily fueled by outside money, not magic silicon miracles. CEO Lip-Bu Tan and CFO David Zinsner admit the company is prioritizing AI chips, but guess what? They still donāt have the hardware to shove AI into. Meanwhile, Windows 10 limps to retirement, hoping for a PC market revival worthy of 2021ās pandemic boom, but Intelās stuck playing catch-up like a dad trying to learn TikTok dances. All aboard the chip shortage struggle bus.

Intel just celebrated profit like it found a unicorn, but no, still no chips. Itās like Netflix hyping a new show only to reveal itās all teaser trailers...plus AI dreams and lifelines from Nvidia, Softbank, and the US government to stay afloat.
Intelās Q3 profit is thanks to bailout dollars, not chip wizardry. AI chips? Coming soon to a fantasy near youācurrently still in the 'please wait' loading screen.
Watching Intelās chip shortage saga is like waiting for a sequel to a cult classic that lost its budget, got a weird cast, and forgot the script halfway through.
