On June 2, 2026, in Taipei, Taiwan, China, Intel CEO Chen Liwu attended the Taipei Computer Show (Computex).
The company's stock surged more than 10% on Thursday, boosted by the announcement from U.S. President Trump that the chipmaker would partner with Apple to research and manufacture semiconductors within the United States.
In an interview with a major business news network, Gene Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, stated that this collaboration represents a significant elevation in Intel's industry standing, moving it from the second tier of U.S. tech companies into the top tier.
He said, "For many years, companies like Apple, NVIDIA, and Google have not held Intel in high regard within the industry, but that dynamic is now shifting. This substantial rise in Intel's share price fundamentally represents the market's authoritative endorsement, signifying Intel's official return to the industry's central stage, once again being viewed as a top-tier technology company with core competitiveness."
