Intel: AI Data Centers Vs PC Gamers Living In Their Parents' Basements -- January 27, 2026

With regard to AI, CNBC anchors continue to obsess about two things:

• it's a bubble / is it a bubble; and, 
• "circular financing."

With regard to "bubble" they keep comparing it to the dot.com bust, 2000 CE. 

Dot.com / 2000 CE and AI / 2025 CE are two completely different animals. 

For one thing, the chip-makers can't keep up with demand. 

Look at this story: Intel.

Intel is trying to meet demand for two completely different customers:

• the PC gamers living in their parents' basement; and,
• AI data centers.

Link here and then direct to Ars Technica. 

Intel is apparently making way more money on AI data centers, and thus Intel will prioritize AI data centers at the expense of those basement gamers.
