Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called it \u201ca fusion of two world-class platforms\u201d that combines Intel\u2019s strength in making conventional computer chips, known as CPUs, that power most laptops, with Nvidia\u2019s focus on the specialized graphics chips that are critical for artificial intelligence. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis partnership is a recognition that computing has fundamentally changed,\u201d Huang told reporters Thursday. \u201cThe era of accelerated and AI computing has arrived.\u201d<\/p>\n

While for personal computer products, Intel will build chips that integrate Nvidia technology.<\/p>\n The agreement provides a lifeline for Intel, which was a Silicon Valley pioneer that enjoyed decades of growth as its processors powered the personal computer boom, but fell into a slump after missing the shift to the mobile computing era unleashed by the iPhone\u2019s 2007 debut. <\/p>\n Intel fell even farther behind in recent years amid the AI boom that\u2019s propelled Nvidia into the world\u2019s most valuable company. Intel lost nearly $19 billion last year and another $3.7 billion in the first six months of this year, and expects to slash its workforce by a quarter by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ARCHIVO \u2013 El logotipo de Intel en el exterior de las oficinas generales de la empresa, en Santa Clara, California, el 12 de enero de 2011.
