Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan posted a photo on X with Nvidia cofounder and CEO Jensen Huang. Tan wrote that he was excited to team up with his “good friend Jensen” to jointly develop custom data center and PC chips. In a press briefing, Huang emphasized that the deal will allow Nvidia to scale its rack architecture systems that combine 72 GPUs with custom CPUs. Huang also said that working with Intel means Nvidia can take a bigger slice of the personal device market. Huang insisted that the Trump administration was not involved in Nvidia’s talks with Intel, which, according to Huang, have been going on for nearly a year.
