Why Is Intel Considering This Move?
Losing Dominance in Semiconductor Manufacturing
Intel was once the leading chip producer, but it has fallen behind TSMC and Samsung in recent years.
Failure to Attract Major Customers
Intel aimed to become a contract chip manufacturer for other companies, but it has struggled to secure major clients.
Refocusing on Chip Design
Selling off its production units would allow Intel to concentrate on designing next-generation processors, similar to NVIDIA and AMD.
How Would This Impact the Semiconductor Industry?
📌 TSMC would further strengthen its position as the world’s leading chip manufacturer.
📌 The U.S. aims to bring semiconductor production back home, but this deal could complicate those efforts.
📌 Intel’s competition with AMD and NVIDIA may shift towards chip design rather than production.
