Intel’s Lip-Bu Tan Teases “Exciting New Products” With NVIDIA as He Hoods Jensen Huang at Carnegie Mellon Doctorate Ceremony

At Carnegie Mellon’s 2026 commencement, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang received an honorary doctorate from Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan.

Tan said Intel and NVIDIA are working on exciting new products, reinforcing signs of a deeper partnership.

The companies are already planning joint data center and consumer chips, with possible collaboration in CPUs, GPUs, and accelerated computing.

Future NVIDIA products could also tap Intel’s foundry and advanced packaging capabilities, adding pressure to existing supply-chain arrangements.

The expanding tie-up could influence semiconductor roadmaps across AI, PC, and data center markets.
