Intel would be seeking a partnership with Samsung to be able to face TSMC’s dominance in the chip manufacturing market, according to rumors. Rumors at the time say that Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger asked one of his executives to organize a meeting with Samsung director Lee Jae-Yong to discuss the matter.
The information comes from the Korean website MK, which does not offer details about what the result of this partnership could be. Speculation talks about sharing information on R&D and facilities for manufacturing products. While Samsung manufactures a wider variety of processors, for many customers, Intel Foundry has extremely advanced manufacturing equipment.
The semiconductor manufacturing division is Intel’s current big bet to try to reverse the negative directions the company has taken this year. The company has high expectations especially with its 18A manufacturing process.
Therefore, a partnership with Samsung to help ensure a greater impact on the arrival of the new generation of its lithography seems a plausible move for Intel. Meanwhile, the South Korean giant recently admitted to a crisis of its own, so the partnership could come at an opportune time. Especially when TSMC leads the semiconductor segment by some margin.
