A partnership that is taking shape and shows great promise.
While Intel is doing very well today, just a year ago, some doomsayers predicted that the American company would be broken up and sold off in pieces to the highest bidders. That fate ultimately did not come to pass—or at least has been averted for the time being—thanks, in particular, to the combined efforts of the U.S. government and a competitor, NVIDIA. The former had paid $9 billion to acquire a stake in Intel, but without demanding anything in return. NVIDIA, for its part, paid nearly $5 billion and thereby became one of Intel’s major shareholders.
For NVIDIA, the primary goal was to secure production lines with a foundry capable of supplementing—or perhaps, one day, supplanting?—TSMC, whose production capacity is completely saturated. However, other collaborations were planned between the two American companies. One of them remains a rather mysterious project, but one that has many enthusiasts excited: an Intel/NVIDIA partnership aimed at producing a SoC (System on a Chip) that leverages the best of both companies. The SoC in question would be produced by Intel using in-house technologies and would feature an Intel-designed CPU, but a GPU designed by NVIDIA and directly derived from the GeForce RTX series. Just imagine a processor equipped with an NVIDIA graphics solution!

At this point, details remain scarce, but the website VideoCardz reports that Intel is currently aiming for a launch in early 2028. There’s even talk of a release during the first half of the year and, therefore, an official unveiling in January 2028 at CES in Las Vegas. Of course, these are just rumors, but they aren’t coming from just anyone: VideoCardz is basing its report on a post by Ergi Özüağ, a former journalist for the Turkish website DonanimHaber who now runs his own tech channel on YouTube.
