In recent months, clear signs have shown that central processing units are becoming an indispensable foundation in the era of artificial intelligence.'

However, Intel's management also warned that the company still faces multiple pressures, including declining demand in the PC market, rising costs, expanding capital expenditures, and supply constraints.
