- Nvidia invests $ 5 billion in Intel as part of a surprising new collaboration
- Intel to design custom x86 CPUs for nvidia -Datacenterplatforms
- New Intel X86 RTX SOCS with Nvidia Gpus to Power Future PCS
Intel and Nvidia have announced a broad partnership that will see the previous design and manufacture custom X86 processors for Nvidia’s data center platforms as well as building new consumer chips for the PC market.
The agreement will also see NVIDIA investing $ 5 billion in Intel’s joint share for $ 23.28 per year. Share pending regulatory approval.
“AI runs a new industrial revolution and invents each layer of the computer stack – from silicon to software systems,” said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
“In the heart of this reinvention, Nvidia’s cuda architecture is. This historic collaboration parks close to Nvidia’s AI and accelerated computer stacks with Intel’s CPUs and the large X86 ecosystem – a fusion of two world -class platforms. Together we will expand our ecosystems and set the basis for the next computer with computing.”
Landmark -Agreement – but there are still questions
The companies said they are planning to develop more generations of products together.
For the Data Center, Intel Nvidia-Custom builds X86 CPUs, which Nvidia will integrate into its AI infrastructure.
For PCs, Intel will manufacture the X86 System-On chips that integrate NVIDIA RTX GPU chiplets connected via NVLink.
These processors are marketed as the Intel X86 RTX SOCs and are aimed at game -bearable computers and compact PCs.
“Intel’s X86 architecture has been fundamental to modern computing for decades -and we are innovating across our portfolio to enable the workload of the future,” noted Intel CEO Lip -Bu Tan.
“Intel’s leading data center and client computing platforms, combined with our process technology, manufacture and advanced packaging features, will supplement NVIDIA’s AI and accelerated computer management to enable new breakthroughs for the industry.”
The investment is coming at a good time for Intel, which has recently undergone some well -documented matches that led the US government to join to acquire a 10% share in the chip producer.
“We value the confidence Jensen and the Nvidia team have placed in us with their investment and look forward to the work in the future as we innovate for customers and grow our business,” Tan added.
Nvidia emphasized that the collaboration is at an early stage and product timelines have not yet been set.
Although it remains obliged to its arm-based processors such as Grace and Vera, the GPU-Gehemoth Intel scheduled schedule described as additive.
Intel has not confirmed whether these new chips will be made entirely on its own nodes or partially outsourced to TSMC.
The message, while a surprise, fits Intel’s drive to strengthen its IDM 2.0 strategy and partnerships as NVIDIA expands its processors to AI and Consumer Computing.
