Broadcom and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Firm (TSMC) are individually exploring offers to take over elements of Intel, in line with a report in The Wall Street Journal.
Broadcom is reportedly contemplating an acquisition of Intel’s chip-design and advertising and marketing enterprise, and would need a accomplice for the corporate’s manufacturing enterprise, whereas TSMC is reportedly taking a look at controlling some or all of Intel’s chip vegetation, doubtlessly as a part of an investor consortium.
All discussions have been preliminary, the Journal says, with nothing submitted to Intel. Apparently TSMC is exploring a deal on the encouragement of President Donald Trump’s administration, though a White Home official mentioned the administration was unlikely to help an association that put a international entity in charge of Intel’s factories.
Intel’s struggling business appears to have made it an acquisition goal for chip-making rivals. The Journal reported in September that Qualcomm had approached Intel a couple of takeover.
