TSMC May Acquire Intel's Chip Manufacturing Operations

According to Odaily, reports from U.S. media suggest that chip manufacturing giant TSMC is considering taking over Intel's chip manufacturing business. Sources indicate that Intel's board began discussions with TSMC late last year to explore potential collaboration in response to deteriorating business conditions. The negotiations are in the early stages, and the form of cooperation has not been determined. TSMC might hold a majority stake in Intel's chip manufacturing operations alongside other investors. It remains unclear how much of Intel's manufacturing business TSMC will acquire or the amount of investment involved. Sources suggest that the deal could be limited to Intel's production facilities in Oregon, Arizona, and New Mexico in the United States, as well as in countries like Ireland and Israel.
