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.

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.
