- osnium123 2y agoIntel’s chairman has reached out to TSMC to try to spin off the fabs to them.
- duxup 2y ago>“Even with potential U.S. government support from the CHIPS Act and officials eager to see the firm rebound and lead the renaissance of advanced manufacturing in the U.S., the road ahead will be tough,” said Paul Triolo, a partner at Albright Stonebridge Group who tracks the industry. They want a "renaissance of advanced manufacturing in the U.S." ... by selling manufacturing to someone else?
- osnium123 2y agoThis is an epic fail IMO.

- osnium123 2y agoIronically, Reagan had stepped in to save the US chip industry.
- wmf 2y agoThey want manufacturing physically located in the US but paid for by anyone other than the US. (Remember the wall?)
- rossdavidh 2y agoSo, the headline is a bit misleading. The real source of the "get out of manufacturing" (or at least foundry) business at Intel was the board, who fired the CEO who had made it his primary focus. This all happened without Trump's involvement, I believe. I think that TSMC taking over Intel's manufacturing (or at least the foundry part) would be the least bad outcome, of the ones that the Intel board left on the table.
