Intel Stock Price Now: Nvidia is putting $5 billion into Intel. The move is part of a joint effort to build new chips for data centers and personal computers.
Intel, which only last month brought in the U.S. government as an investor, has been facing tough challenges. Nvidia said it is buying shares at $23.28 each.
After the announcement, Intel’s stock shot up 25% and traded close to $31. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called the partnership a powerful match of technologies.
He said it combines Nvidia’s AI and accelerated computing with Intel’s CPUs and the wide reach of the x86 ecosystem. According to him, the goal is to grow both platforms and shape the next chapter of computing.

Nvidia now joins SoftBank and the U.S. government in backing Intel’s recovery. Intel’s stock had fallen to its lowest level in more than ten years earlier this year.
But shares regained ground after the Trump administration agreed in August to purchase a 10% stake in the company.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai said the partnership marks a “major milestone for American high-tech manufacturing.”
SoftBank followed with a $2 billion investment in Intel in August. The U.S. government also put in $8.9 billion, buying 433.3 million shares.

With the stock now around $31, that stake has grown to $13.4 billion in value. Still, some uncertainty lingers.
Analyst Chris Caso of Wolfe Research noted that it’s unclear whether this is just symbolic cooperation for political show, or the beginning of a broader alliance that could deliver real benefits to Intel.
Chris Caso noted that the big unknown is whether Nvidia will use Intel’s factories to make its chips. For now, the deal doesn’t seem to include that.
The agreement still needs regulatory approval. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan will discuss the partnership in a press conference at 1 p.m. ET.

As outlined in the release, Intel will produce x86 CPUs for Nvidia’s AI platforms. On the PC side, Intel will also build x86 system-on-chips that pair with Nvidia’s RTX GPUs to power upcoming computers.
Nvidia shares climbed 3% in premarket trading. The company is working through U.S.-China trade talks as it seeks approval to sell less advanced chips in China.
Intel stock also surged, putting it on track for its best single-day performance since October 1987, when it jumped 26.4%.
