Intel Foundry lands its first named outside customer: Fortinet
THE SO WHAT
Intel putting Fortinet’s custom Security Processor 6 on its foundry roadmap — handling design, advanced packaging, and manufacturing — is about signaling that it can be a full-stack custom silicon partner, not just a fab. If you ship high-volume appliances or infra, the menu of viable custom-chip vendors just expanded, and you should be revisiting your 3–5 year silicon strategy.

Deep & Emerging TechSuper Micro says Q4 orders have topped $60B and expects gross margins of 15% to 17%, up from its prior forecast of 8.2% to 8.4%; SMCI jumps 13%+ after hours
$60B in Q4 orders and nearly doubling margin guidance shows AI server demand is still outpacing most forecasts. If you're a downstream infra buyer, expect continued lead-time pressure and consider locking in multi-quarter capacity and pricing where you can.
Deep & Emerging TechIntel confirms more layoffs in its data center unit as stock rallies on turnaround momentum
Layoffs inside Intel’s data center group while the stock rallies suggest investors are rewarding a sharper focus on profitable AI and foundry bets. For enterprise buyers, this is a reminder to re-check roadmaps and support horizons for legacy Xeon-centric stacks.
Deep & Emerging TechWhy Micron and other chip stocks are bouncing back so strongly
The rebound in Micron and peers on the back of open-source AI demand is a reminder that memory is a leveraged bet on model scale and context windows. If you’re planning infra spend, assume DRAM and HBM constraints—not just GPU counts—will shape availability and pricing over your next 12–24 month roadmap.
Deep & Emerging TechBucking EV slowdown, Sila raises $300M to expand battery materials factory
A $300M raise to scale silicon-carbon anode production for 100,000+ EVs says the bottleneck is materials, not just vehicle demand. OEMs and fleet operators should be locking in next-gen cell supply now rather than assuming today’s lithium-ion chemistry and pricing will hold.
