🚨 JUST IN — Nvidia’s Intel Bet Pays Off Fast❗

Nvidia’s 💲5B investment in Intel is already a massive win.

What happened:

• Nvidia agreed in September to buy Intel shares at ~$23.28 each

• Deal received FTC approval on Dec. 18

• Purchase of 214 million shares closed on Dec. 26

• Intel shares now trade around $36–37

📈 Result:

• $5B investment → now worth ~$7.6B

• Nvidia is instantly ~$2.5B richer

Why it matters:

• Nvidia now owns ~4% of Intel

• The companies will jointly develop multiple generations of chips for:

– Data centers

– PCs

– AI infrastructure

Key tech collaboration:

• Chips connected via NVLink (1.8 TB/s bandwidth)

• Intel to build custom x86 CPUs for Nvidia’s AI platforms

• New x86 + RTX integrated chips planned for PCs

⚖️ The deal was closely watched due to antitrust concerns, especially after Nvidia’s failed $40B Arm acquisition, but regulators ultimately approved it.

💡 Bottom line:

What looked like a rival bailout just turned into one of Nvidia’s smartest financial and strategic moves yet.
