The investment was completed after NVIDIA bought about 214.7 million Intel shares at $23.28 per share. The shares were sold privately, not through the open market, after regulatory approval.

With this deal, NVIDIA now owns around 4 percent of Intel. The transaction was confirmed in a regulatory filing and closed after US antitrust authorities gave clearance. The agreement also includes plans for both companies to work together on custom data center CPUs and an integrated PC system-on-chip. These products will combine Intel’s x86 technology with NVIDIA’s advanced chip designs.

US regulators, including the Federal Trade Commission, approved the deal earlier this month. After the filing, Intel shares rose slightly, while NVIDIA’s stock saw a small dip. The partnership was first announced in September. NVIDIA agreed to invest $5 billion to support Intel as it expands production and develops next-generation chip technology.

For Intel, the fresh funds provide much-needed support. The company has been under pressure due to high spending, tough competition, and falling market share. For NVIDIA, the move helps it grow beyond AI chips and enter the wider CPU market. The stake also ties NVIDIA’s success more closely to Intel’s plans.

Intel has already received support from other sources, including investment by the US government in 2025 to boost domestic chip manufacturing. This latest deal has further improved investor confidence.
