A leak has revealed a release date for the first time: The first Intel processors with Nvidia RTX graphics are expected to arrive in early 2028. Specifically, a debut at CES 2028 is being discussed.
Last September, Nvidia and Intel announced a historic collaboration to jointly develop SoCs (System on a Chip). This was accompanied by Nvidia’s $5 billion investment in Intel.
At the time, the general direction was already hinted at; now, a leaker is bringing more concrete information to light: The first Intel processors with integrated Nvidia RTX graphics are expected to be released in 2028.
One x86 core, one RTX tile
This is reported by Turkish tech YouTuber Erdi Özüağ, who previously made a name for himself as an editor at DonanimHaber (viaVideocardz).
Specifically, the leaker cites the first quarter of 2028 as the target date. If the roadmap remains unchanged, the debut could take place at CES 2028. Intel is reportedly targeting this timeframe on a current roadmap.
Exclusive News: According to Intel’s current roadmap, the target date for the next-generation processors featuring NVIDIA graphics is the first quarter of 2028; if plans remain unchanged, the CES 2028 trade show could serve as the launch event.

According to Videocardz, this involves a chip jointly developed by Intel and Nvidia that could end up in our computers.
- Intel is said to be combining the x86 architecture with an RTX graphics tile (also known as a chiplet) in a single package.
- According to the report, the chips belong to the “Serpent Lake” family, which previously appeared in roadmap leaks as a branch of Intel’s future client platform.
Similar speculation was already circulating when the partnership between Intel and Nvidia was announced.
However, as Videocardz notes here, an Intel collaboration with other manufacturers is not entirely unprecedented.
With “Kaby Lake-G,” the manufacturer actually released a mobile chip as early as 2018 that combined an Intel processor with (ironically, one might say) AMD’s Radeon RX Vega. The project was short-lived, however—driver support was discontinued after just a few years.
There is one catch to the CES theory, though: Nvidia has recently devoted its major presentations almost exclusively to its AI business. If the AI boom cools off at least somewhat by 2028, a comeback of consumer products at CES could very well make sense again.
