「寻芯记」英伟达50亿美元“雪中送炭”,英特尔绝地求生?全球芯片格局一夜生变
Hua Xia Shi Bao· 2025-09-19 13:03
本报(chinatimes.net.cn)记者石飞月 北京报道 英特尔终于等来了它的"超级外援"。当地时间9月18日,全球半导体行业见证了一场历史性的"结盟": 昔日的竞争对手英伟达与英特尔宣布达成合作,英伟达将以50亿美元注资入股英特尔,双方还将共同开 发多代定制化的数据中心及个人计算产品,以加速超大规模计算、企业级及消费级市场的各类应用与工 作负载的处理。 "两英合璧",从竞争对手到合作对象,自然各有所需。更值得关注的是,巨头合围之下,全球半导体市 场可能产生进一步分化:一方面,AMD、ARM等企业面临市场挤压,亟需构建新的差异化壁垒;另一 方面,中国半导体产业在外部压力下加速自主创新,超节点路径正成为破局关键之一。一场围绕算力主 权的长期竞赛,将进入全新赛道。 从竞争对手到合作对象 9月18日晚间,英特尔CEO陈立武在社交平台上晒出自己与英伟达创始人黄仁勋的合照,两人脸上都挂 着大大的笑容,与此同时,陈立武带来了与英伟达合作的消息。 双方将通过NVIDIA NVLink技术实现架构无缝互连——融合英伟达在AI与加速计算领域的优势,以及 英特尔先进的CPU技术与x86生态,为客户提供前沿解决方案。 在数据 ...
