As of June 3, 2026, the Manifold prediction market assigns a 96.54% probability to Tesla announcing a formal Intel partnership for AI chip fab by June 30, 2026 (source). This near-certain consensus suggests strong market belief in a major foundry win for Intel. Separately, the probability that Intel will manufacture NVIDIA chips by end-2026 stands at only 27% (source), and a joint venture between TSMC and Intel is at 48.73% (source). Moreover, Intel's lithography catching up with TSMC by 2028 is priced at just 14% (source).

While prediction markets are not official statements, the extremely high probability for the Tesla-Intel partnership signals strong anticipated demand for Intel's foundry services in AI chip fabrication. If realized, this would be a significant competitive development, potentially diverting business from TSMC and strengthening Intel's position in the AI semiconductor supply chain. The low probability of catching up in lithography tempers longer-term optimism, but the immediate sentiment is bullish for Intel's foundry prospects.
