INTC Stock Surges 28% Pre-Market Today After This Key Nvidia Deal – Find Out More

NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA) and Intel Corp. (INTC) announced on Thursday that they are collaborating to co-develop multiple lines of data center and PC technologies, aiming to advance AI, enterprise, and consumer applications. 

Nvidia is making a significant show of commitment by investing $5 billion in Intel stock, agreeing to purchase shares at $23.28 apiece. The transaction remains contingent on customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.

Following the announcement, Nvidia stock traded over 3% higher, and Intel stock surged over 28% in Thursday’s premarket. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around Nvidia shifted to ‘neutral’ from ‘bearish’ territory the previous day amid ‘low’ message volume levels. 

The collaboration brings together Nvidia’s computing and AI capabilities with Intel’s CPU (central processing unit) expertise, aiming to create hybrid platforms. Both parties plan to utilize Nvidia’s NVLink interconnect to tightly integrate Nvidia’s GPU (graphics processing unit) processing power with Intel’s x86 architecture, supporting high-performance computing needs.

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.

“AI is powering a new industrial revolution and reinventing every layer of the computing stack — from silicon to systems to software. At the heart of this reinvention is NVIDIA’s CUDA architecture,” said NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang. “This historic collaboration tightly couples NVIDIA’s AI and accelerated computing stack with Intel’s CPUs and the vast x86 ecosystem — a fusion of two world-class platforms. 

The announcement comes in the wake of China issuing a prohibition on the purchase of Nvidia’s artificial intelligence chips by the country’s leading tech companies. 

Nvidia’s stock has gained over 26% in 2025 and 50% in the last 12 months.
