Nvidia is also investing $5 billion into Intel

What just happened? Intel has received another massive investment from an unlikely source: Nvidia. Team Green is purchasing $5 billion in Intel common stock at $23.28 per share, part of a collaboration that will see the two companies jointly develop x86 system-on-chips – called Intel x86 RTX SoCs – that integrate Intel CPUs and Nvidia RTX GPU chiplets for a wide range of PCs. Intel will also be building custom x86 data center CPUs for Nvidia to integrate into its AI infrastructure platforms. [...]

What kind of shady anti competitor deal did NVidia get out of this is what I'm wondering.

Intel is on fire sale right now and NVIDIA was able to buy in for essentially their 2 week pay cheque.

Nvidia probably figures Intel is an unsinkable investment because the U.S. government won't let it now that they bought in. Since China just told their tech industry not to use certain Nvidia chips, I imagine hedging a small bet on the U.S. instead of globally is in their best interest.

Also yeah, Intel stock was double what it is now, 4 years ago...

Well the B50 is the best selling workstation card at the moment, so Intel is probably going to drop that so nvidia can maintain market share
