Nvidia to invest $5 billion in Intel, marking strategic shift in global chip industry
CHENNAI: In a landmark move for the semiconductor sector, Nvidia has announced a $5 billion investment in Intel, acquiring shares at $23.28 apiece. The deal is accompanied by a broad strategic partnership aimed at developing next-generation computing and AI products, marking a rare collaboration between two longtime rivals.
As part of the agreement, Intel will design custom x86 processors for Nvidia’s data center platforms and create system-on-chips for personal computing that integrate Nvidia RTX GPU chiplets. The partnership also includes the use of Nvidia’s NVLink interconnect technology to link Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUs more tightly, improving bandwidth and reducing latency, the Western media reported on Thursday.
