/g/ here with some Intel dirt. This is more about longterm investment than day trading.

Rumor has it Intel has been over promising Apple about the performance (I.e cooling) of future chips (roadmaps). This wouldn't be surprising from what we already factually know from their failures currently. Won't bore you with the tech, but in business terms Intel thought they could cut staff and budgets while maintaining state of the art R&D.

Apple will be extremely unhappy if they deliver products that overheat and they are big enough to cut ties with Intel and get a competitor to get the job done, Apple won't be bullied by Intel. This wouldn't be new as in 2009 a similar thing happened and there are rumored to be a couple of protype Macs with AMD products. Apple also dumped IBM for not delivering on what they promised as well. This will happen over a period of quarters, maybe even years but you might want to keep an eye on any Intel stock you hold and look into their competitors. Intel is letting down server, gaming, pre-built and server customers down, competitors will fill the void.

If you're feeling frisky and want to take a gamble dump all your Intel stock into AMD stock. But don't listen to some faggot on 4chan about your financial future.
