The Wall Street Journal reports that Nvidia, the world’s most valuable chipmaker and a central player in the ongoing AI boom, has taken a bold step by investing $5 billion in Intel, a company that has recently struggled to keep pace with its rivals.
The deal is not just about capital. Nvidia and Intel have agreed to jointly develop new products for data centers and personal computing, leveraging each company’s strengths. Intel will manufacture Nvidia-custom x86 CPUs, which Nvidia will integrate into its AI infrastructure platforms. Additionally, Intel will build chip systems for Nvidia chiplets, the modular components that power next-generation PCs. This collaboration is expected to expand both companies’ ecosystems and lay the groundwork for what Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang calls “the next era of computing.
