Intel jumps amid report it will play a role in manufacturing Nvidia GPUs in 2028, CFO purchases $250,000 in company stock

Intel is surging this morning amid one confirmed vote of executive suite confidence in the company and a rumored one that could be much more significant.

Starting with the latter, Taiwanese industry outlet DigiTimes reports that Intel will play a role in Nvidia GPUs for the Feynman generation, the successor to the upcoming Vera Rubin generation, which is expected to be released in 2028. Specifically, the report says that Nvidia will “partially utilize” Intel for the I/O die, or the part of the module that facilitates communication, as well as for about 25% of packaging. The remainder would be handled by TSMC, which is also slated to retain its role in manufacturing the Feynman architecture’s brains.

In September, Nvidia announced a $5 billion investment in Intel as part of a pact to develop data center and PC products. This report, if confirmed, would make a significant enhancement of this partnership.

And as for the support from inside the house: a filing released after the close on Tuesday showed that Intel Chief Financial Officer David Zinsner bought nearly $250,000 in company stock on Monday. That purchase came as shares tumbled more than 20% after management issued guidance for Q1 that came in below Wall Street’s view.

Amazon introduces one- and three-hour delivery options in hundreds of new towns and cities

Harder, better, stronger, faster... Amazon, not content with completely altering our expectations for how quickly our goods should arrive, is rolling out one- and three-hour deliveries in new cities in the US as it continues to double down on ultrafast delivery.

Per the company’s press release, one-hour delivery is now available in “hundreds of cities and towns” in the US, and three-hour options are offered in “over 2,000 cities and towns,” both available seven days a week though their regular same-day shopping experience. More than 90,000 products, which are typically available in local supercenters, are currently eligible for delivery under the two plans, and Amazon expects to bring the new scheme to more areas in the coming months.

Delivery fees for Prime members are set at $9.99 for one-hour delivery and $4.99 for three hours, though this price range more than doubles to $19.99 and $14.99, respectively, for customers without a Prime membership.

Regarding the new delivery options, Udit Madan, Amazon’s senior vice president of worldwide operations, said: “we’re excited to say that two decades after Prime launched, we’re still innovating to make delivery even faster, while maintaining the same everyday low prices and vast selection Amazon is known for.”

Indeed, since it launched same-day delivery in 2015, Amazon has been experimenting with a number of ultrafast delivery options, including recently piloting a 30-minute delivery service in selected US cities, built on its network of fulfillment centers and on-demand workers. The e-commerce giant’s latest push also comes as competitors like Walmart started to boost its delivery capacity, touting that it can deliver to 95% of American households in less than three hours.

Oil’s retreat propels US stocks higher

Front-month West Texas Intermediate futures are down more than 4%, while Brent futures are off more than 2% as of 1:25 p.m. ET as traders glom on to some optimistic signs about the flow of oil through the all-important Strait of Hormuz:

  • A Pakistani-owned tanker passed through the strait this weekend while broadcasting its signal, per Reuters, “indicating ‌that some countries are able to negotiate safe passage for their vessels despite the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.”

  • US President Donald Trump said that some “fairly local” countries would soon be helping ships traverse the strait (while having added that other countries are “not enthusiastic” about the prospect of participating).

The SPDR S&P 500 ETF and Invesco QQQ Trust are both up over 1% amid oil’s retreat.

That being said, the news flow is far from universally positive.

Reuters reports that the UAE’s crude output has been cut in half since the Mideast conflict started; Bloomberg says Kuwait’s production has suffered a similar decline.
