CEO Jensen Huang said that the company’s $5 billion investment and technology collaboration with Intel
comes after the two companies held discussions for nearly a year.
Huang said that he communicated personally with Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan about the partnership. He called Tan a “longtime friend” on a Thursday call with reporters after the companies announced that Nvidia would co-develop data center and PC chips with Intel as part of the investment deal. On the call, Tan said he and Huang have known each other for 30 years.
