Impressive claims, but whether Nvidia will eventually use Intel’s Foundry in future remains a question mark for now.
Speaking at a press conference earlier this evening, Nvidia CEO, Jensen Huang, and Intel chief Lip-Bu Tan took questions from the media about the newly-announced collaboration between the two.
While both CEOs refused to be drawn too far in on questions regarding which process the chips created would be built on (or whether Nvidia would commit to making use of Intel’s foundry in the near future), the two did have a lot to say about the project, and the scope of the market it’s attempting to capture.
«With respect to the size of the market», said Huang, «the data center market and the PC market are both large, and we’re going to build revolutionary products, first of its kind products. Nothing of its kind has ever been built before for the x86 market.»
The products in question are said to be both Nvidia-custom x86 CPUs integrated into AI infrastructure platforms for data center usage, and system-on-chips (SOCs) with integrated Nvidia RTX GPU chiplets for the consumer market.
«I think these are going to be revolutionary products», Huang continued.
