During an interview with Mad Money host Jim Cramer, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang recalled a key moment from his time with Intel.
The interview, reported on October 9 by Fast Technology , revealed interesting details on the evolution of the relationship between the two companies, once bitter competitors and now strategic partners.
In the early 2000s, Intel was the absolute leader in the computing industry, with a dominant position in both consumer and professional products. At the time, NVIDIA partnered with Intel to produce chipsets, but later decided to develop its own technology in-house.
This decision sparked a legal dispute over licensing rights, which ended in a victory for NVIDIA. During the interview, Huang ironically recalled that period, saying, “Intel spent 33 years trying to destroy us,” but emphasized that this was a joke.
Today, the situation is completely different: the two companies actively collaborate.
Huang explained that the key to this new alliance lies in his personal friendship with Intel’s current CEO, Lip-Bu Tan .
According to NVIDIA’s CEO, the cooperation between the two companies represents an important step towards strategic synergy in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence hardware .
“We are no longer rivals, but friends,” Huang concluded, highlighting how the competition of the past has transformed into a collaborative relationship that aims to strengthen both parties in the new global technological landscape.
