Chip maker Intel beats earnings expectations as it pursues rivals
US chip giant Intel on Thursday said it made more money than expected in the recently ended quarter as it continued to invest in a "geographically balanced" supply chain. Intel shares jumped more than 7 percent to $34.88 in after-market trades. "We delivered a standout third quarter, underscored by across-the-board progress on our process and product roadmaps; agreements with new foundry customers, and momentum as we bring AI everywhere," said Intel chief executive Pat Gelsinger. Intel reported revenue of $14.2 billion, which was 8 percent less than the amount seen in the same quarter a year earlier but ahead of forecasts. Net income tallied $300 million, compared with $1 billion profit in the same period in 2022, earnings figures showed. "Our results exceeded expectations," said Intel chief financial officer David Zinsner, who said earnings benefited from "expense discipline." Intel has been working to catch up with rivals, especially Nvidia, when it comes to powerful chips needed to handle the computing demands of artificial intelligence. Intel touted investments being made in chip production facilities with an aim of creating a "geographically balanced, secure, resilient supply chain." California-based Intel is seen as a key tool for the United States to reduce its dependence on major global producers, such as Taiwan's TSMC. Earlier this year, Intel announced it would spend $25 billion on a new plant in Israel, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling it the country's single largest foreign investment. The "agreement in principle" would see the semiconductor firm build the facility in the southern city of Kiryat Gat that would open by 2027 and operate at least until 2035, Israel's finance ministry said. Intel has been operating in Israel since the 1970s with development centers and a production site that employs some 12,000 people, the finance ministry said. In 2017, Intel acquired Israel-based Mobileye, which makes technology for automated driving systems in vehicles, for just over $15 billion. Gelsinger said Intel teams have kept operations going despite the war between Israel and Hamas. "Our utmost priority is the safety and welfare of our people in Israel and their families," Gelsinger said. "Despite all of these challenges, they're performing extremely well. I am praying for a swift return to peace." China Gelsinger said Intel was carefully studying updated rules in the United States that tighten curbs on exports of state-of-the-art AI chips to China. "We do believe that we'll have plenty of opportunity in China," Gelsinger said. "We are continuing to deploy our products there broadly, even as we comply and work with (the United States) around the regulations that they're putting in place." The new rules tighten measures from a year ago that banned the sale to China of microchips crucial to manufacturing powerful AI systems. Calls to further close the supply chain grew after the popularity of generative AI platform ChatGPT. When announcing the beefed-up curbs, US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo insisted they were intended to close loopholes and prevent China's development of AI for military use. "It's true that AI has the potential for huge societal benefit. But it also can do tremendous and profound harm if it's in the wrong hands and in the wrong militaries," she told US media. The rules will not affect chips used in consumer goods such as laptops, smartphones, and gaming consoles, though some will be subject to export licensing requirements. China has said it is "strongly dissatisfied" and "firmly opposes" the curbs. "The US continues to generalize the concept of national security, abuse export control measures, and implement unilateral bullying," the commerce ministry said in a statement.

Gains outweigh differences
In the dialogues between Chinese and Philippine officials, the guiding principle is the oft-repeated credo that “differences are not the total of relations.” This has worked well as a guidepost while the territorial conflict increasingly becomes a complicated issue. As the situation in the region heats up, economic ties remain in constant flow that has even progressed with the start of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, or RCEP, which is now the biggest economic bloc in the world. President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. even indicated that the ties with China had improved, during his January visit to Beijing in which the West Philippine Sea disputes took a back seat. The contending parties have created a parallel track for the economy and diplomacy in that the two issues develop independently of each other. Taking a similar track was how China was able to achieve the paradox of a socialist political order while its economy exploded through capitalism. Marcos had recognized the logic of a twin approach that keeps relations warm despite the divergence. During his January visit to Beijing, the Chief Executive said he and Chinese President Xi Jinping had committed to work for ways “to move forward, to avoid possible mistakes, misunderstandings that could trigger a bigger problem than we already have.” Marcos raised to Xi the case of Filipino fishermen who had been denied access to their traditional fishing areas by China’s navy and coast guard. Xi promised BBM “a compromise that will be beneficial.” Marcos described the evolving deal with China as similar to what the country has with the US. Trade with the United States has grown due to preferential tariffs instead of direct aid. Maintaining such a relationship allows both China and the Philippines to avoid the “elephant in the room,” which is the heightened maritime conflict. A stable relationship with Beijing then becomes possible while still protecting the interests of the Philippines. Marcos said the key is keeping the lines of communication open. Thus, it will deter “unfortunate incidents that we see, such as blocking our fishermen from our fishing grounds, and intimidation of our maritime forces.” A main component of the mechanism with China is a hotline between both Presidents which he said both sides were “still working on.” “As long as we continue to engage all our partners, not only China, in an open, available system to communicate, provoking a more serious situation than it already is now can be avoided,” according to the President. China remains the biggest trading partner of the Philippines as a result of shared interests in business. In several cases, both countries are intricately linked mainly because of the low prices of Chinese manufactured imports and a huge export market that beats the United States due to its proximity. In 2022 alone, the trade volume between both countries reached $87.7 billion. China and the Philippines share an interest in expanding ties. The imperative of close relations is also the consequence of the complementing quality of the workforce in which China’s population is fast aging with a median age of 38.4 compared to the Philippines’ 25.7 years. The country’s demographic sweet spot translates to a likely source for the dwindling number of workers of the giant economy. In terms of both countries’ development, the deepening relationship with China outweighs the two nations’ differences. The post Gains outweigh differences appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
