Intel and TSMC are preparing to sign a new production -oriented cooperation. In this partnership, TSMC will contribute to the process by sharing production information with Intel instead of capital investment. This initiative, which will be based on Intel’s production facilities in the United States, will be a structuring that two companies will carry out together. According to the information conveyed by The Information, the preliminary agreement was completed between the parties.
Within this structure, TSMC is expected to have 20 percent shares. However, in this partnership, TSMC will not make any direct financial investment. Instead, Taiwan manufacturer will transfer information by educating Intel employees about their production processes. Thus, Intel aims to create a more efficient and stable structure in production processes.
The opening of the advanced production techniques of TSMC in the sector to the use of Intel brings the cooperation to an unusual position. Intel’s long -term efficiency and cost problems are being partially eliminated by this partnership. In addition to all these, Intel, who wants to increase production capability, is remarkable that he or she turns to external expertise in this process. Especially in the transition to 3nm and further production technologies, this cooperation may be a major role.
The basis of this initiative lies the desire to become more independent and stronger in the US semiconductor sector. Similar plans that came to the table during the Trump administration in the past have now moved to the agenda with Intel’s restructuring steps. Intel’s change process has begun to gain a clearer direction with new partnerships. In this process, Intel’s support from outsourcing can facilitate the modernization of the production line.
According to information from inside, some of Intel’s concerns about possible layoffs. Within the scope of efforts to simplify and restructure the operations of the company, it is said that there may be contraction in the labor force. In addition to all these, it is aimed to balance such negative effects with the increase in production. TSMC’s contribution is not only technical, but also organizational benefit.
TSMC is known for its production services to technology giants such as Apple, Nvidia and AMD. The stable and high -efficiency production infrastructure offered for these companies has enabled him to become a reliable partner in the sector. Now this experience will be integrated directly into Intel’s system. Thus, Intel’s production lines may become more flexible and planning processes may become more predictable.
Intel CEO had recently changed
On the Intel side, the recent management changes draw attention. Lip-This Tan, sitting in the CEO seat, wants to build a more agile and cooperated structure. In addition, it is thought that the company should take more innovative steps to strengthen its perception of investors. The new partnership is seen as a concrete example of this approach.
Although the details of the cooperation have not yet been fully explained to the public, a generally focused model of production stands out. The fact that TSMC will share its own production secrets with Intel is rare in the semiconductor sector. Nevertheless, both companies are expected to make mutual profit from this cooperation. Especially in a period when the global supply chain becomes fragile, such common structures become more important.
