• Negative Sentiment: Market reaction and commentary (multiple reports and trade desks) frame the Nvidia development as a setback for Intel’s foundry narrative — near‑term sentiment and stock volatility are likely to remain elevated until there’s clearer confirmation of customer wins or technology milestones.
