On February 15th, according to US media reports, chip manufacturing giant TSMC may take over the chip manufacturing business of Intel Corporation in the United States. According to the report, according to people familiar with the matter, in order to deal with the deteriorating operating conditions, Intel's board of directors began to approach TSMC at the end of last year to explore the possibility of cooperation between the two parties. The negotiations are at an early stage, and the form of cooperation has not yet been determined. TSMC may jointly hold a majority stake in Intel's chip manufacturing business with other investors. It is not clear how much of Intel's manufacturing business TSMC will take over and how much capital it will invest. According to people familiar with the matter, the deal between the two parties may be limited to Intel's production plants in places such as Oregon, Arizona and New Mexico in the United States, as well as Ireland and Israel.
