According to media reports, Samsung is considering the possibility of strategic cooperation with Intel. Sources indicate that interest in this step is connected not only with business, but also with the political situation in the United States.
In recent months, the Donald Trump administration has been increasing attention to the American chips manufacturer. Earlier it became known that the state has gained a share in Intel, which allocates a company among other players of the industry. In these conditions, Intel partnership can give Samsung certain advantages in negotiations with the American side and help to avoid new trading barriers.
Cooperation can affect the area of glass substrates. Earlier, Intel abandoned independent development in this direction, and some of the specialists went to the Samsung unit in the United States. In addition, the American company considers the possibility of licensing its technologies, which opens the space for collaboration.
