NVIDIA and Intel have announced a collaboration to develop Intel x86 RTX SoCs for PCs that will utilize NVIDIA graphics. Additionally, NVIDIA is purchasing $5 billion in Intel stock, marking a significant investment and partnership between the two tech giants, along with the introduction of custom NVIDIA data center x86 processors.

Intel and Apple are in early discussions about a potential investment from Apple, following Intel's recent challenges in the chip market. While Apple has transitioned to using TSMC for its chips since 2020, the talks may lead to a partnership where Intel could manufacture some components for Apple, although a full return to Intel chips is unlikely.
