Intel’s rivals Taiwan’s semiconductor manufacturing company and Broadcom are potential deals that will split the US chip idol into two, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Broadcom has been lying through Intel’s chip design and marketing business, the journal reports, adding that the company has discussed potential bids with consultants, but it is only possible to continue if it finds a partner for Intel’s manufacturing business. .
The world’s largest contract manufacturer TSMC has separately studied controlling some or all or all of Intel’s chip factories, which could be part of an investor consortium or other structure, the report said.
The journal added that Broadcom and TSMC have not worked together and that so far all negotiations have been preliminary and largely informal.
Intel’s interim executive chairman Frank Yeary has been in talks with possible suitors and Trump administration officials who fear the fate of a company seen as national security crucial, the report said.
The report added that Yeary has been telling people close to him that he is most focused on maximizing the value of Intel shareholders.
Intel, Broadcom, TSMC and the White House did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment.
President Donald Trump’s administration may not support foreign-owned Intel’s U.S. chip factory, after Bloomberg reported that TSMC is considering Trump’s response The requirement to enforce control of the Intel factory.
White House officials said the Trump administration supports foreign companies’ investment and construction in the United States, but is “unlikely” to support a foreign company that runs Intel factories.
Bloomberg reported that Trump’s team raised the idea of a deal between the two companies in a recent meeting with TSMC officials accepted by officials, citing a person familiar with the matter.
Intel is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the United States, heading to the onshore key chip manufacturing industry led by former President Joe Biden’s administration.
The U.S. Department of Commerce said in November it was finalizing Intel’s $7.86 billion (about Rs 68,240 crore) government subsidies.
The company is one of the few chip manufacturers that design and manufacture semiconductors.
TSMC’s market valuation is about eight times that of Intel. The Taiwanese company’s clients include AI chip leaders Nvidia and AMD, Intel’s fierce competitors in the PC and server markets.
Last year, former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger was ousted last year, setting high expectations for Intel’s manufacturing industry and AI capabilities for major customers, but fell into deficiencies, leading to chips The manufacturer loses or cancels the contract.
Last year, Intel’s stock lost 60% of its value as its capital-intensive bidding strengthens manufacturing (a strategy advocated by Gelsinger) exacerbated the company’s cash flow and ultimately caused it to cut about 15% of its value. labor force.
