8 May
Summary
- Apple is exploring discussions with Intel for US-based chip manufacturing.
- Intel is expected to supply Apple's lowest-end processor chips by 2027.
- This potential move involves exploratory talks for US production of Apple's chips.
Apple has engaged in exploratory discussions with Intel and Samsung concerning the possibility of manufacturing its processor chips within the United States. This potential venture contrasts with Apple's current manufacturing arrangements, which involve the Taiwan-based company TSMC. Reports suggest that Intel is expected to commence supplying Apple's lower-end M processor chips starting in 2027.
Further indications of a deepening relationship include Intel's previous outreach to Apple, seeking collaboration and potential investment. These ongoing dialogues highlight Apple's consideration of diversifying its chip production sources and bringing some manufacturing capabilities to the US, a significant potential shift in its supply chain operations.
