How Intel Got Left Behind in the A.I. Chip Boom

Published On Oct 24, 2024, 5:02 AM

The article discusses how Intel, once the dominant chip manufacturer, missed a pivotal opportunity in 2005 to acquire Nvidia, a company now recognized as the leader in AI chips. Intel's board resisted the proposal due to concerns over acquisition integration and high costs. This decision is viewed retrospectively as a significant error, as NVIDIA has skyrocketed in value amid the AI boom, whereas Intel's market value has fallen significantly, leading to its current struggles in the tech industry.
