## AI overview

Intel reported Q3 2026 revenue of $16.5 billion, up 21% year over year, with non-GAAP gross margin of 44.1% and EPS of $0.52. Data Center and AI revenue rose 78% to $7.3 billion, with a 41.5% operating margin; demand is strong across customer types, but substrate availability is limiting Xeon supply. The excerpt says AMD's 192-core Turin parts address a segment Intel lacks a direct competitor for, while Xeon 6 is selling amid broad demand. Client Computing and Physical AI revenue fell 5% to $8.1 billion as DRAM and NAND shortages and higher prices raise PC system costs and weigh on demand; Intel expects the slowdown to continue through at least the first half of next year, with memory price pressure into 2027. Intel Foundry revenue rose 58% to $6.7 billion, including intersegment transactions, while its operating loss narrowed to $1.9 billion; improved yields and cycle times are reducing wafer costs.
