Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:INTC): Closing price $23.94
In efforts to branch out from its core PC chip business, Intel is launching efforts to put its server chips into machines that help bring smartphone data closer to users. Intel will be running tests with Nokia Siemens Networks Oy and South Korea's SK Telecom Co., with its chips installed in the companies’ base station computers. With more powerful chips, base stations can better handle the enormous amount of data being processed and help ease web traffic and congestion.

Nvidia has officially pulled the wraps off of its new Tegra 4 chip, which retains the same 4-plus-1 arrangement of its predecessor.

Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM): Closing price $61.28
