– Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed Nvidia’s contribution of these GPU chiplets for integration alongside Intel’s x86 CPU cores.
– Intel clarified that this collaboration does not mean the end of its own graphics development efforts.
– Intel stated that the partnership complements its existing roadmap and that it will continue offering GPU products.
– The company reiterated its commitment to GPU offerings, referencing a previous statement made by Michelle Johnston Holthaus before her departure.
Intel has confirmed that its Arc GPU product line will continue despite a newly announced partnership with Nvidia to integrate Nvidia GPU chiplets into future Intel processors. This strategic collaboration, revealed by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, involves Nvidia supplying GPU chiplets that Intel can incorporate alongside its own x86 CPU cores. These components would serve as an alternative to Intel’s current in-house Arc integrated graphics solutions.
The company has made it clear that this partnership does not signal an end to its independent graphics development efforts. In a statement provided to PCWorld, Intel emphasized that the collaboration is intended to complement, not replace, its existing GPU roadmap. “We’re not discussing specific roadmaps at this time, but the collaboration is complementary to Intel’s roadmap and Intel will continue to have GPU product offerings,” the company stated.
This reassurance aligns with earlier commitments made by Intel executive Michelle Johnston Holthaus prior to her departure from the company. The message underscores Intel’s ongoing investment in its graphics technology, even as it explores new cooperative ventures with industry rivals.
