The United States can transfer up to 49% of the Taiwanese TSMC Intel – this is reported by UDN, referring to sources in supply chains.
According to the publication, such a step is considered within the framework of trade negotiations between the United States and Taiwan as a way to “save” the Intel business and strengthen American semiconductor production.
An alternative to this scenario is supposedly the US demand for Taiwan to invest $ 400 billion in the American economy. Against the background of this amount, the acquisition of almost half of Intel looks for TSMC as a more profitable option.
Moreover, in the event of a transaction, the company could gain control over the production capacities of Intel, which would significantly strengthen its influence on the American semiconductor industry.
These rumors arose after the departure of Pat Gelsinger from the post of Intel CEO, which warmed the speculation on the restructuring of the company. It is also reported that TSMC can take part in the development of Intel processes and actually control its factories.
