Nvidia invests $5 billion in Intel, combining forces as Trump negotiates with both companies

Nvidia said Thursday it is investing $5 billion in Intel, the struggling chipmaker that offered the U.S. government a stake in its company under pressure from President Trump.

The deal will combine Nvidia’s artificial intelligence and accelerated computing capabilities with Intel’s CPU technologies and x86 ecosystem, according to the companies.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called it “a fusion of two world-class platforms.”

“Together, we will expand our ecosystems and lay the foundation for the next era of computing,” he said.
