On 18 September, 2025, Nvidia and Intel jointly announced in a press release, Nvidia's $5,000,000,000 USD investment into Intel stock. Finalized on December 29, 2025, Nvidia purchased 214.8 million Intel shares at $23.28 per share. Both Nvidia and Intel develop GPUs for consumer and enterprise applications, making them competitors. In both sectors Nvidia holds the highest market share, dwarfing both AMD and Intel by magnitudes. As a result many have developed concerns over the persistence of Intel's GPU offerings and have branded the investment as Nvidia's attempt at furthering their monopoly by investing in their competitor.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commision (FTC) announced in a notice that U.S. antitrust agencies cleared the investment, despite this being anti-consumer and making Nvidia a monopoly.
