The Catalysts : Nvidia and the US Government
2 seismic endorsements have reshaped Intel's narrative.
Nvidia Partnership : In September, Nvidia $NVIDIA(NVDA)$
Using the NVLink, the 2 companies will fuse Intel's x86 CPU ecosystem with Nvidia's GPU dominance - creating a new hybrid architecture for hyperscale, enterprise and consumer markets.
