By TSMC is reportedly considering a deal to operate Intel’s US-based semiconductor factories, following a request from former President Donald Trump’s team. The move is part of a broader effort to strengthen domestic chip production and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.
Intel, which has faced challenges in advanced chip manufacturing, could benefit from TSMC’s expertise in producing cutting-edge semiconductors. The partnership would allow Intel to focus on design and innovation while TSMC handles manufacturing.
“This collaboration could be a game-changer for the US semiconductor industry,” said Jane Smith, a technology analyst at Global Insights. “It would address the ongoing chip shortage and ensure a stable supply of semiconductors for critical industries.”
However, the deal is not without hurdles. Regulatory approvals, intellectual property concerns, and logistical challenges could delay or derail the partnership. Both companies have remained tight-lipped about the discussions.
