Anything is possible when Fools put their minds to it.

Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) closed yesterday at $20.37. So far the stock has hit a 52-week low of $12.05 and 52-week high of $21.27. Intel stock has been showing support around 20.04 and resistance in the 20.68 range.

Shares of Nvidia Corp. (NYSE: NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NYSE: AMD) jumped after rival Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC) scrapped plans to make a new graphics chip that would have challenged both companies.

Nvidia's stock rose $1.83, or 12.8%, to at $16.09, while AMD's gained 66 cents, or 8.4%t, to $8.52. AMD's stock was also upgraded.

The gains signaled investors' relief that Nvidia and AMD won't have to square off -- at least immediately -- against the world's biggest semiconductor maker in the market for standalone, or "discrete," graphics chips.

Intel disclosed that it no longer plans to release a chip code-named Larrabee to the general public as planned next year, saying the "silicon and software development are behind where we had hoped to be at this point in the project." The company had a lot riding on Larrabee, if only mainly in regard to its reputation.

Intel heavily hyped the chip as a challenge to Nvidia and AMD. Because of Intel's size -- Intel's $112 billion market capitalization is 20 times AMD's size and about 13 times Nvidia's -- it can be a major threat in any market it throws itself into. But graphics has been a problem.

Yesterday's market is today's moneymaking road map.

Neil Carvin submits:

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) earned $0.33 per share in the third quarter of 2009, compared to Net Income of $0.35 last year and our target of $0.27. Revenue was 8.1 percent less than in the same period of 2008, but Revenue increased from its second quarter 2009 value by a healthy 17 percent.

Not me.

California-based National Semiconductor (NSM) has had a pretty sweet run this year as is evidenced by a quick gander at a recent chart. But will its run continue? And will it be able to poke through a new 52-week high? Here are some of my thoughts ahead of the company’s second-quarter numbers which are due out on December 10. 1. The chip company is coming off a solid quarter. (In fact to read what I wrote about the company just after the first-quarter release see Ticker Shock: National Semiconductor Amplifies Good News.) It’s thumped expectations in a big way ...

Intel passes on Larrabee for now, thoug one market watcher thinks that it's just temporary. by Erik Sherman

Intel will rethink the market for its Larrabee chip, once destined to be a graphics processor. Does its failure to make an x86-based GPU mean that it's reaching the limits of x86 computing as we take our devices to extremes on the low and high end?
