Cats and dogs. Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUs. Now we've seen everything, etc. Of course, we've known about the Intel-Nvidia collab for a while. One big question is whether it will involve Intel actually making Nvidia GPUs in its foundry. For now, it seems not, despite Intel shifting its marketing pitch on the new 18A node this week. Intel now says 18A is no longer fit only for Intel's own chips. It's good enough for customers, too.
Intel CFO Dave Zinsner has been talking to the usual financial analyst types at the Morgan Stanley Conference this week, and probably the biggest news coming from his comments is an upgrade to the status of Intel's 18A node. That's the new silicon that just debuted in Intel's impressive Panther Lake laptop CPU.
