This Is the Top Artificial Intelligence (AI) Chip Stock to Buy Right Now, According to Jim Cramer, putting Intel at the center of a CPU-centric AI shift. The CNBC “Mad Money” host said Intel (INTC) is his top AI chip stock, despite the shares already gaining 263% year to date. Cramer’s case focuses on two claimed tailwinds: server CPU heritage becoming more valuable as AI moves toward agentic workloads, and signs that Intel’s chip foundry operations are stabilizing. He argues GPUs still matter for training and basic inference, but agent orchestration multiplies CPU demand earlier in deployments. The article frames this as a multiplier effect between AI accelerators and the CPUs needed to run them at scale.
