AMD, one of your competitors is currently cannibalizing the other. Now might be a good time to GET! YOUR SHIT! TOGETHER!

Who's willing to do some strategic marriage to create the Chipsatz Haderach?

lol is this to shore up their stock price since China banned NVIDIA GPUs?

I guess iGPUs aren't really their money maker but still.

It's them likely trying to become monopoly, while under the most pro-monopoly admin available

could be the old microsoft strategy of propping up a competitor (apple) so they arent so obviously a monopoly

Especially because Intel isn't a serious competitor to Nvidia

It's actually even more corrupt than that. The Trump administration recently bought a 10% stake in Intel. It also forbids Nvidia from selling their higher end AI chips to China. The speculation is that Nvidia's purchase of Intel is essentially a bribe to get Trump to loosen restrictions on sale to China (which made up a huge chunk of Nvidia's revenue before the ban). China's "ban" on Nvidia is for their lower end chips which are basically useless for the next generation of data centers (requires more energy spent for less compute). It was more of a negotiation to get access to Nvidia's Blackwell.

I'm guessing it's just that Intel has taken a bath recently and they took the chance to buy a chunk and, like the other comment said, become an x64 monopoly.

Also, lol rip Intel's own GPUs, probably.

Why break up when we can merge more?
