Intel and HubSpot Leverage AI to Disrupt Tech Industry

In August 2025, two leading tech firms, Intel Corporation and HubSpot, Inc., are making significant strides in embracing artificial intelligence (AI) to reshape their respective industries.

Intel, the world's largest semiconductor company, has been gradually reducing its dependence on the PC-centric business and is now moving into data-centric industries, such as AI and autonomous driving. The company's foundry operating model is a key component of its strategy, designed to drive greater transparency, accountability, and focus on costs and efficiency.

Meanwhile, HubSpot has been increasingly focused on collecting and enriching customer data from various sources, including website visits, marketing emails, and sales calls. The acquisition of Clearbit, a B2B data provider for marketing intelligence, has further accelerated HubSpot's vision. The integration of Clearbit's data with HubSpot's AI has facilitated the development of more powerful, advanced, and accurate AI capabilities, which are being adopted across the company's entire product suites and customer platform.

Intel has also made a significant move in the AI space, launching new AI chips for data centers and PCs. This marks one of the largest architectural shifts for the company in 40 years, as it aims to gain a stronger foothold in the expansive AI sector, spanning cloud and enterprise servers to networks, volume clients, and edge environments. The company's new Intel Core Ultra featuring the neural processing unit enables power-efficient AI acceleration, with 2.5x better power efficiency than the previous generation.
