Intel Completes $5 Billion Private Share Sale To Nvidia

• Nvidia had committed to investing $5 billion in Intel stock.
•  For the data center market, Intel will design custom x86 CPUs optimized for Nvidia’s AI infrastructure.
• The collaboration aims to bring together Nvidia’s computing and AI capabilities with Intel’s CPU expertise.

Intel Corp. (INTC) announced on Monday that it has completed a privately negotiated share sale to Nvidia Corp. (NVDA), generating $5 billion in cash and reinforcing collaboration between the two chipmakers.

In September, Nvidia had committed to investing $5 billion in Intel stock and to co-develop multiple lines of data center and PC technologies, aiming to advance AI.

Details Of The Transaction

Intel completed the sale of over 214 million of its common shares to Nvidia at a price of $23.28 each, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing. The funds were received in cash, and the arrangement was executed under a Securities Purchase Agreement, initially signed in mid-September 2025. 

Intel stock inched 0.5% higher in Monday’s premarket. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the stock remained in ‘neutral’ territory amid ‘normal’ message volume levels. 

Strategic Collaboration Backdrop  

The collaboration aims to bring together Nvidia’s computing and AI capabilities with Intel’s CPU (central processing unit) expertise, aiming to create hybrid platforms. For the data center market, Intel will design custom x86 CPUs optimized for Nvidia’s AI infrastructure. 

These chips will be incorporated into Nvidia’s platforms and offered to enterprise clients and hyperscalers.

Intel was in the news earlier this year after the Trump administration invested $8.9 billion in the company and bought 433.3 million shares at $20.47 per share. The purchase was equivalent to a 9.9% stake in the company. 

While INTC stock has gained over 80% year-to-date, NVDA’s stock has added only 41% in value in the same period.
