It's been hard to ignore Intel's (NASDAQ: INTC) impressive share price gains over the past year. The company initially didn't benefit from the rise of artificial intelligence the way many other tech companies did. But a renewed focus on making processors, a government investment, and new chip agreements have changed Intel's narrative. And what's followed has been a monumental run for Intel's stock, which is up 528% over the past 12 months, and about 259% year to date, as of this writing.
