In a move nobody saw coming, NVIDIA and Intel are joining forces to create next-generation chips for both data centers and personal computers. NVIDIA confirmed it will invest $5 million in Intel as part of this new partnership.
The biggest surprise is Intel’s plan to build x86 system-on-chips (SOCs) that come with NVIDIA’s RTX GPU technology built in. This means that upcoming Intel Core Ultra processors could ship with RTX graphics already inside, giving PCs more power for gaming, AI, and heavy workloads without needing a separate graphics card.
According to NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, the partnership combines Intel’s long-standing CPU expertise with NVIDIA’s AI and GPU strength, bringing together “two world-class platforms.” For everyday users, this could mean laptops and desktops that run smoother, faster, and more efficiently in handling both gaming and work tasks.
Industry watchers say this move looks like a direct response to AMD’s Advantage systems, which combine Ryzen CPUs and Radeon GPUs into one powerful package. With Intel and NVIDIA now teaming up, the competition in the PC hardware market is bound to heat up even more.
What’s less clear is how this will affect Intel’s Arc GPUs. Intel has been working hard to make a name for itself in the graphics card market, but with NVIDIA in the picture, questions remain. Will Arc fade into the background, or will NVIDIA’s know-how actually help improve it? For now, all we can do is wait and see.
