In September of last year, we were all rather surprised by the announcement that Nvidia and Intel had teamed up to produce custom x86 processors for data centers and x86-RTX SoCs (system on chips) for personal computers. Even though the first hints of a name for one of these products, Serpent Lake, popped up soon after, the consensus was that it would take some time for this venture to bear real fruit. But one report suggests that we won't need to wait long at all, just one more week, to be precise.

That's according to Jukan on X, who is an analyst for Citrini. They write: "Some sell-side analysts are expecting that Nvidia may unveil an x86 CPU developed in collaboration with Intel at GTC 2026," and finish this off with a simple "I think so too."
