The semiconductor trio, which includes Nvidia Corp.‘s (NASDAQ:NVDA) rival turned partner Intel Corp. (INTC) and its peer Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), have been riding a wave of momentum, signaling a potential shift in the tech landscape.

INTC And AMD Still Remain NVDA Peers Despite Developments
The partnership, cemented with NVDA’s $5 billion investment in Intel in September 2025, focuses on custom AI and PC solutions, integrating Intel's x86 CPUs with NVIDIA's NVLink and RTX GPUs.
This collaboration, hailed by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang as a move from “rivalry to cooperation,” aims to dominate data centers and consumer markets.
On the other hand, despite Huang touting AMD and NVDA as “very different companies,” AMD remains its peer.
Intel's Arc GPUs and AMD's Radeon Instinct accelerators are vying against NVDA's dominance in AI and gaming, continuing to be its fierce competitors.
What Does Momentum Ranking Entail?
The momentum percentile, as defined by Benzinga Stock Edge Rankings methodology, reflects a stock’s relative strength based on price movement patterns and volatility compared to peers, offering an essential measure to track when evaluating shifts in investor sentiment and market trends.
