Nvidia Takes $5 Billion Stake in Intel, Pair Will Co-Design Data-Center and PC Chips

Regulatory review now looms, with no Intel foundry commitment in the pact.

Overview

  • Nvidia will purchase Intel common stock at $23.28 per share for roughly a 4% stake, subject to regulatory approvals.
  • Intel will design custom x86 CPUs for Nvidia’s data-center platforms and develop PC system-on-chips that integrate Nvidia RTX GPU chiplets.
  • The companies said the agreement does not currently include manufacturing Nvidia chips at Intel’s foundry.
  • Intel shares jumped about 25% to 33% in premarket trading after the announcement, while Nvidia rose roughly 3%.
  • CEOs Jensen Huang and Lip-Bu Tan plan a 1 p.m. ET press conference, following recent U.S. government and SoftBank investments that have shored up Intel.
