Nvidia announced a $5 billion purchase of Intel stock, but it’s not the game-changer that the headlines are making it out to be.
While Intel is America’s biggest chipmaker, it lags behind TSMC’s cutting-edge nodes. Nvidia is just a design firm, so they don’t possess the necessary manufacturing know-how to improve Intel’s capabilities. So, Intel’s need for the right ecosystem and advanced lithography to create the upper echelon of chips remains.
This is just another case of political appeasement. Nvidia has been in hot water with Washington and Beijing, so they’ll do just about anything to cool things down a bit. But hey, $5 billion is $5 billion.
