Intel is in early talks with Apple and TSMC on potential investment and cooperation, according to sources familiar with the matter. The discussions follow Intel’s recent funding wins, including $2 billion from SoftBank, $8.9 billion in US government subsidies, and $5 billion from NVIDIA. If Apple and TSMC join as investors, the move could provide a crucial boost to Intel’s revival plan. Apple is seen as a potential customer for Intel’s advanced packaging technology, while TSMC may strengthen production at Intel’s US plants through a possible joint venture. Talks remain preliminary, and it is unclear whether an agreement will be reached. [Reuters]
