Nvidia has been facing increased competition recently. Intel has historically kept out of Nvidia's main graphics processing unit business but has dramatically changed its attitude in the last week. Intel announced a partnership with AMD to produce a single-chip CPU and GPU combo.

Intel also announced that it had poached the head of AMD's graphics division to start a new graphics division at Intel. The new division will work on developing discrete graphics units that would directly compete with Nvidia's processors.

Nvidia is up 99.81% this year on the back of increased demand for GPUs from both cryptocurrency miners and data centers using the chips for artificial intelligence tasks.
