Intel Bets $5B on Nvidia GPUs, Keeps Its Graphics Daydreams Alive

In a plot twist juicier than a CPU overclock, Intel and Nvidia have cozied up with a $5 billion deal where Nvidia’s GPU chiplets will chill alongside Intel’s x86 CPU cores—a bit like frenemies forced to share a dorm room. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang spilled the beans, while Intel sweetly assured us it’s still gonna keep pushing its own Arc GPUs, despite this glowing endorsement sounding like they’re trying not to admit defeat. Intel’s product chief Michelle Johnston Holthaus left abruptly (cue dramatic music), and Intel keeps shedding parts of itself like a reality show contestant eliminating competition. Skepticism lurks, especially as some Intel chips like the B580 score surprise wins, but we’re all just sitting tight, popcorn in hand, until ā€˜stay tuned’ becomes ā€˜finally done.’
