Intelligence started the instant God created it.
Genesis 1
1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

How long did it take for intelligence to exist in the universe?

except we know the genesis story is incorrect on its timeline.
Also at what stage in man's evolution would god have created man in "our" own image? There have been more then one homind on the planet in its history.

Are you just referring to any life-form? Or that of divine beings?
If the former than...
We only can know or at least determine/speculate life on Earth, and when intelligence developed here.
We have no way of knowing if there were intelligent life forms from other planets in the universe. We can on speculate on life in other planets other than our planet, but it totally futile exercise to speculate on "intelligent" life outside of Earth.
For the OP whether intelligence was inherent when the existence of the universe came or is just an emergent property is sufficient. Any intelligence whether it is this planet or others billions of years prior would happen in any case.
That would be an intelligent god that did this?
The definition includes computers.
Reproducing doesn't really need intelligence so is it emergent?

How can intelligence be pre-universe without ID?

Well, in that case, we can not know, because we haven't yet discover any other intelligent life from other planets. And if we have not found one (yet) and we have no way in communicating with alien life, then we don't know their history or their current stages of evolutionary processes.

That is the great thing about new research, it often states the obvious.

I suspect that intelligence manifested itself in this universe soon after (In relative terms) the first life appeared.
We on earth , as a planet and as a life form, are late comers. We may be in no way typical in how we have developed.
Entire galaxies have come and gone since the formation of the universe. It is reasonable to suggest the same is true of intelligent life forms.
I rather doubt we would be considered intelligent by some much more advanced life.

Far as I know protozoa and baterium have intelligence also plants have intelligence and have no need of a nervous system.
But then again intelligence is just an illusion anyway based off of determinism.
Do you basically think that intelligence came after the big bang?
I think a single brain cell shows signs of intelligence without the nervous system. As someone mentioned single celled organisms show some signs.
Intelligence existing pre-universe doesn't mean the universe was intelligently designed.
