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 aims to address the global chip shortage and strengthen domestic semiconductor production.
Intel, which has struggled to keep up with TSMC in advanced chip manufacturing, could benefit from the partnership by focusing on design and innovation. TSMC’s involvement would also help ensure a steady supply of chips for critical industries.
“This partnership could be a turning point for the US semiconductor industry,” said Sarah Johnson, a technology analyst at Future Markets. “It would enhance domestic production and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers.”
However, the deal faces challenges, including regulatory hurdles and intellectual property concerns. Both companies have declined to comment on the ongoing discussions.
