Nvidia Pumps Massive Capital into Intel Ventures
In a groundbreaking move, tech giants Intel and Nvidia have announced plans to jointly develop chips, marking a significant shift in the competitive landscape of the chip industry.
The partnership has already shown promising signs, with Intel's stock price surging following the announcement. The stock, which was purchased at $23.28, has risen to $30.57, representing a 23 percent jump in US trading. This rise in value has made the investment profitable for Nvidia from the start.
However, not all news is positive for Intel. The company, once a leading force in the chip industry, has seen a decline in significance in recent years. To address this, Intel has scaled back its ambitious plans to build new factories and has scrapped the planned plant in Magdeburg.
Instead, Intel will focus on adapting its X86 system to Nvidia's data center technology, aiming to create processors that can compete with Nvidia's offerings, which are key for training and operating software with artificial intelligence.
Nvidia, currently the world's most valuable company with a market capitalization of $4.3 trillion, has seen explosive growth, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence. The US government, recognising this, has secured a stake of approximately 10% in Intel, with this investment being publicly announced on August 22, 2025.
Despite the potential of this partnership, potential customers have shown hesitancy regarding Intel's contract manufacturing services. This could be due to Intel's relative lack of experience in this area compared to Nvidia, which is currently the world leader in chip systems for AI.
Meanwhile, Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, has not made any promises to use Intel's contract manufacturing capacity. However, Intel is considering becoming a contract manufacturer for other chip companies, a move that could potentially expand its market share.
This partnership between Intel and Nvidia is undoubtedly a significant development in the chip industry. The US government's investment in Intel, valued at billions with subsidies promised last year, is a testament to the potential of this collaboration. As the partnership progresses, it will be interesting to see how it impacts the competitive landscape of the chip industry.
