For data center applications, Intel will manufacture NVIDIA-custom x86 CPUs. NVIDIA will then incorporate these CPUs into its AI infrastructure platforms and make them available to the broader market. Meanwhile, for personal computing, Intel will produce and market x86 system-on-chips (SOCs) that incorporate NVIDIA RTX GPU chiplets. These integrated x86 RTX SOCs are designed to power a wide range of PCs, delivering world-class CPU and GPU performance in a single package.
In a complementary move, NVIDIA will invest $5 billion in Intel’s common stock at $23.28 per share. This investment is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of regulatory authorities.
“AI is powering a new industrial revolution and reinventing every layer of the computing stack from silicon to systems to software. At the heart of this reinvention is NVIDIA’s CUDA architecture,” said NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang. “This historic collaboration tightly couples NVIDIA’s AI and accelerated computing stack with Intel’s CPUs and the vast x86 ecosystem a fusion of two world-class platforms. Together, we will expand our ecosystems and lay the foundation for the next era of computing.”
