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

Juan said that Intel partnership will have nothing to do with its ARM products, and that the development of these products will continue.

“We are completely committed to ARM roadmap,” said Juang, mentioning a number of future products, including future generations its architecture of the Vera processorField

Finally, there is a question about where these chips will be built. The current NVIDIA chips are produced mainly in TSMC, although it used Samsung factories more recently, as RTX 3000 SeriesIntel also uses TSMC to create some chips, including current higher processors for laptops and desktop computers, but it uses his own factories to create his server chips and plans to return his next generation consumer chips.

Will NVIDIA begin to produce some of its chips in the Intel 18A production process or in another process on the Intel roadmap? Voting from NVIDIA will be a great shot in the hand of the Intel foundry, which was reported that he tried his best to find large customers, but it is difficult to see how NVIDIA does this if Intel production processes cannot compete with performance or energy consumption, or if Intel cannot make hips in volumes that need NVIDIA.

Juan did not close the door for working with Intel on production, but answered several questions about this, having received TSMC praise, suggesting that the manufacturer was a well -known amount with which Nvidia was in no hurry to stop working.

“We have always evaluated Foundry Intel technology, and we will continue to do it,” said Juang. “I think that Lip-boo and I would both say that TSMC is a world-class casting plant, and in fact we are both very successful TSMC clients. The capabilities of TSMC, from the technology of processes, their performance rhythm, the scale of their ability and infrastructure, maintaining their business … Only everything that cannot be in the world class that supports. This is TSMC. “
