"Here's the most exciting bit for home users - Intel will be building x86 systems on a chip that integrate Nvidia RTX GPU chiplets. Intel+Nvidia is a common enough combo these days in laptops, but having the silicon in one package might have big implications for performance and efficiency. Investors will be happy to learn that Intel will also build custom x86 CPUs for Nvidia, which will be integrated into Nvidia's AI infrastructure offerings. Nvidia and Intel parts will talk to each other over NVLink."
"As you may remember, Nvidia tried to acquire ARM in a deal that ultimately fell through. Nvidia uses ARM cores in some of its products, e.g. the Jetson AGX Orin features Cortex-A78AE cores. In the past, Nvidia had custom ARM cores too like the Vera and Denver - now it's getting custom x86 cores, which will give customers more options."
Nvidia will invest $5 billion in Intel's common stock at $23.28 per share, pending regulatory approval. The companies will jointly develop products for PCs and servers. Intel will build x86 systems-on-chip that integrate Nvidia RTX GPU chiplets, aiming to improve performance and efficiency through silicon integration. Intel will also design custom x86 CPUs for Nvidia to embed in Nvidia's AI infrastructure, with communication between parts using NVLink. Nvidia previously pursued an ARM acquisition and uses ARM cores in some products; access to custom x86 cores expands customer options. Intel's stock rose on the announcement.
