For a long time, Intel was the obvious choice of processor when buying a PC, but around ten years ago, the pendulum began to swing toward AMD, and it got faster and faster. Today, Intel has lost a lot of market share, and its processors are often criticized for not really keeping up.
Now, a report from CNBC shows how the processor landscape has changed, as it turns out that Intel is currently negotiating with AMD to manufacture the latter's processors. The fact that the old giant will be producing its fiercest competitor's products is undeniably something that was difficult to predict just five years ago, but that is how it may turn out.
The news was well received by the market, and Intel's share price rose 7% as a result of this revelation. It should also be noted that a month ago the US government acquired 10% of Intel for about $10 billion, and just over a fortnight ago Nvidia, currently the world's most valuable company, invested about $5 billion in Intel shares, and now this approach to its competitor AMD could be interpreted as a move in an even bigger deal that would lead to a monopoly in the processor business.
