Intel<\/strong> (NASDAQ:INTC)<\/span>, which designs and manufactures CPUs, GPUs, and related computing products, closed Tuesday at $52.91, up 4.19%. The stock moved higher on news that Intel will be part of Elon Musk\u2019s Terafab AI chip complex, another sign of renewed confidence in the firm.<\/p>\n Trading volume reached 124.8 million shares, coming in nearly 16% above its three-month average of 107.5 million shares. Intel IPO’d in 1971 and has grown 16,154% since going public.<\/p>\n The S&P 500<\/strong> (SNPINDEX:^GSPC)<\/span> inched up 0.08% to 6,617, while the Nasdaq Composite<\/strong> (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC)<\/span> added 0.10% to finish at 22,018.

Terafab represents an ambitious plan for a massive chip factory.<\/p>\n Last week, Intel said it would buy back its stake in its Ireland-based semiconductor factory, another sign of momentum. It puts the firm in a stronger position to benefit from growing chip demand.<\/p>\n For Intel, these are further signals that Intel\u2019s turnaround efforts are paying off. The stock has gained over 40% in the past six months as CEO Lip-Bu Tan, appointed just over a year ago, cuts costs and builds partnerships to try to re-establish the firm as a leading chipmaker.<\/p>\n Before you buy stock in Intel, consider this:<\/p>\n The Motley Fool Stock Advisor<\/em> analyst team just identified what they believe are the\u00a010 best stocks<\/strong> for investors to buy now\u2026 and Intel wasn\u2019t one of them.
