It also said Nvidia pledged to invest $5 billion and collaborate on CPU designs, Google partnered with Intel on CPUs and AI chips, Elon Musk tapped Intel for his chip-fab project, and Apple agreed to work with the firm on chip design and manufacturing. The WSJ reported that the tech firm has started shipping chips built on its 18A manufacturing process.
