I always love a “when enemies become friends story,” but Nvidia and Intel striking a deal to work together was not on my bingo card. In a game-changing announcement reported by Tom’s Hardware , Team Green and Team Blue will be working together to develop chips. These include data center CPUs for business and (most interestingly to me) Intel CPUs with Nvidia RTX graphics built into them for consumer PC gaming. On top of that, Nvidia will buy $5 billion in Intel stock, which has caused Intel’s stock price to skyrocket by over 30% today. This is a developing story with a lot of moving parts and big questions to ask: what does this mean for Nvidia’s own N1X CPU project? How will the likes of AMD and Qualcomm respond? So we’re covering every new development live.

What you need to know about the Nvidia-Intel deal Nvidia and Intel will work together to jointly develop new generations of x86 products over several years. Alongside the enterprise CPUs, this includes “Intel x86 RTX SOCs” — Intel CPUs infused with Nvidia RTX graphics. Nvidia will also buy $5 billion in Intel stock at $23.28 per share. This partnership is in the very early stages, and any product specifics will be disclosed at a later, unspecified date. LIVE UPDATES
