Here's another really good write-up on it. INTC up 23% and NVDA up 3.5% on the news.

Nvidia, Intel to co-develop “multiple generations” of chips as part of $5 billion deal

Intel once considered buying Nvidia outright, but its fortunes have shifted.

2 of the hottest running, power hungry, chip companies sharing 1 piece of silicone? How can it possibly go wrong! I wonder if this also means Intel's GPU division is effectively dead?

This is damning news for consumer GPU purchasers. Likely intel ARC will get shelved so Nvidia only has to contend with AMD and keep prices bloated to the extreme

Well well well, Intel is saying they will keep having graphic products but didn't share any roadmap so who know in what form it would be down the road.

Not sure I like that when Intel was actually starting to make some progress

MILD is rumoring that Intel will let go of GPU altogether by 2029 as part of this deal with Nvidia. While Xe3 / Celestial is already too far in the development, he suggest that Xe4 / Druid will only see minor low end use. Another interesting bit is that according to his Intel sources, the internal Intel analysts are forecasting a collapse of their business even in markets such as China so they had to make a deal with Nvidia to survive. The only reason why Intel marketing keep saying ARC isn't going anywhere is to string that dev team along to finish whatever needed to be finish. So his position that ARC is effectively dead still stands.

i wonder if this means wed get a new shield console that isn't a rehashed beaten dead horse Tegra SoC from 2017? something that can decode AV1 without becoming a Stuttery mess.

Amd really should try make a shield type device even there weakest SoC would blast NVidia outa this space until they decide ok maybe its time or we ran outa Tegra SoC's lol.

I'd really like an AV1 compatible box for streaming to replace my shield tv pro one day. I rarely game at my PC and always stream to the TV in the living room or bedroom.

when i get a spare min i wanna test out that Geforce Streaming on the LG C4+ models to see how they handle tested the shield Pros recently it couldnt handle Rick&Morty encoded with AV1.
