Full capacity production still unable to meet demand! Intel Corporation (INTC.US) CFO: The demand for server chips "continues to be strong" and supply bottlenecks will persist throughout the year.

Dave Zinsner, Chief Financial Officer of Intel Corporation (INTC.US), stated at a meeting that the demand for the company's high-profit server processors remains strong, and he expects this trend to continue into next year. On Wednesday, at an event hosted by Morgan Stanley in San Francisco, Zinsner pointed out that due to limited factory capacity and supply shortages in the entire semiconductor industry, Intel Corporation is struggling to meet the increasing order demand. Zinsner said that based on last year's sales growth of over 20%, the server market is expected to see "considerable growth" again this year. The demand for devices used to create and operate artificial intelligence (AI) services has surged, further driving the demand for processors from companies like Intel Corporation - these processors play a supportive role in related hardware, and the supply shortages are affecting a wider range of suppliers. While this has helped Intel Corporation somewhat catch up in driving the trend in the computer industry, the company is still working on increasing its factory and supplier capacity. The semiconductor giant, which has been dominant for many years, has been dedicated to reshaping its technological advantage and regaining lost market share. The operational efficiency of its manufacturing plants is crucial for turning the situation around. Zinsner stated that the capacity shortage issue will continue to ease but will persist until the end of this year. He noted that many of Intel Corporation's factories currently have capacity utilization rates exceeding 100%. Boosted by these comments, Intel Corporation's stock price rose by as much as 6.9% on Wednesday, reaching a high of $46.08; by the end of trading, the stock had accumulated a 23% increase for the year.
