Intel CEO Says New Intel and NVIDIA Products Are in Development

Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan has confirmed that Intel’s collaboration with Jensen Huang and NVIDIA remains active, signaling that major joint hardware projects are still moving forward.

Intel and NVIDIA partnership appears to be expanding

Tan made the comments during a ceremony at Carnegie Mellon University, where he placed an honorary doctorate hood on Huang. During the event, Tan stated that Intel and NVIDIA are “developing exciting new products,” reinforcing reports that the companies continue working closely together despite competing in several markets.

One of the most anticipated projects tied to the partnership involves rumored Intel x86 SoCs featuring integrated NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics. The reported platform, currently known under the codename “Serpent Lake,” could combine Intel CPU technology with NVIDIA GPU IP inside thin-and-light laptops and compact systems.

If the project launches, it could significantly improve gaming performance, AI acceleration, media workloads, and graphics capabilities on lower-power devices. It would also represent one of the most notable Intel-NVIDIA collaborations in years.

The cooperation reportedly extends beyond consumer hardware. Intel is also said to be developing custom Xeon CPUs tailored for NVIDIA AI infrastructure and server platforms. NVIDIA already deploys Intel Xeon processors in some HGX server systems, and future custom chips could potentially power larger SuperPOD AI clusters and hyperscale GPU-heavy deployments.

AI competition is pushing rivals closer together

The deeper partnership highlights how rapidly the AI market continues reshaping the semiconductor industry. Despite historical rivalry and Intel’s own Arc GPU business, companies increasingly mix CPU and GPU vendors to optimize AI systems and cloud infrastructure.

The collaboration also arrives during a busy period for Intel. The company recently hired former Qualcomm executive Alex Katouzian, acknowledged the existence of Arc G3 graphics chips, and released updated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers.
