Nvidia is putting in $5 billion to invest in Intel, which shows they are teaming up on AI in a big way. This happened just after the U.S. government bought a major share in Intel. Because of this, Intel's stock price went up more than 25% in early trading.
The money from Nvidia is meant to help Intel improve its AI abilities.
Nvidia will share its technology and work together on chips for computers and data centers. Experts say this deal is not just about money, but also about gaining influence and staying aligned with U.S. policies.
- Nancy Tengler from Laffer Tengler Investments thinks this might be the start of a bigger move like a takeover or restructuring among U.S. chip companies.
- Steve Sosnick from Interactive Brokers says it's not a big hit for Nvidia financially, but it's really important for Intel, helping it get on track with AI chip development.
- Gadjo Sevilla from Emarketer believes this move changes Intel from being slow in AI to becoming a major player in the tech world, and it helps Nvidia get access to Intel’s manufacturing facilities.
- Russ Mould from AJ Bell says the deal helps the U.S. chip industry, gives Intel a second chance, and makes the supply chain more stable.
- Matt Britzman from Hargreaves Lansdown says this partnership has strategic and political reasons, which helps ease the U.S. government's worries about foreign control in the chip industry.
Other experts mention that Nvidia gets access to new ideas and support from the government, while Intel gets financial help, better credibility in AI, and a clear path forward.
This deal also helps Nvidia compete better with AMD in AI and server markets.
It fits with the U.S. government's plan to boost domestic chip production. Even though $5 billion is not a huge amount for Nvidia, it's a big deal for Intel as it tries to become more competitive in AI and chip making again.
