NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Responds To The Intel-AMD “x86 Alliance”, Says It Is Necessary To Keep The Architecture Alive
NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang has responded to the newly merged "x86" alliance involving Intel and AMD, stating that such a step is necessary to keep x86 alive.
Intel, AMD & Others Form An x86 Alliance To Counter Growing Market Competition, NVIDIA Believes That It Is a Necessary Step
Well, we recently reported on how Intel, AMD, and several other mainstream companies formed an "x86 advisory" group with the intent of moving together to progress the future of the architecture and ensure cross-compatibility between platforms. When the news initially surfaced, it was claimed that this move indirectly combats the influence of NVIDIA over the AI markets, and interesting, Jensen himself has responded to the alliance (via CRN), and here is what he had to say:

Well, these are quite interesting remarks from Jensen himself, given that one way or another, an Intel-AMD alliance surely bothers NVIDIA since it will now face competition from a group of companies working together, mainly focusing on the AI markets.
The x86 alliance development came shortly before Lenovo's Tech World event, and at this particular time, we probably saw Intel's CEO Pat Gelsinger and AMD's CEO Lisa Su together at the same stage for the very first time, and it led us to believe how time has the power to convert enemies into allies. Intel's Pat Gelsinger himself addressed being together with AMD's Lisa SU on stage, and his remarks were pretty interesting and optimistic at the same time.
Well, the x86 alliance comes at a time when the PC markets are struck with the dominance of ARM architecture, with companies such as Qualcomm introducing their solutions that have been a massive hit. Not just this, but
