Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan said he expects quantum computing to become mainstream within the next three to five years. That forecast is more optimistic than those typically offered by researchers and specialized quantum firms, and signals Intel’s strategic focus on the technology.
Speaking at a panel, Tan positioned Intel as a potential player in the future of computing, though the company does not currently have a significant revenue stream from quantum technology. His comments are not direct financial guidance, but offer insight into Intel’s research and development priorities and could shape investor perceptions of its long-term growth prospects.
Tan also noted the rapid adoption of Chinese AI models and their cost-effectiveness.
