Nvidia and Broadcom are running manufacturing tests with Intel, while Broadcom and Taiwan’s TSMC are studying potential acquisitions of different parts of Intel’s business.
If the manufacturing tests led to contracts, it would be a significant revenue windfall for Intel's foundry services.
Broadcom is considering making a bid for Intel’s chip-design and marketing business, while TSMC is interested in Intel’s chip plants.
The foundry service has manufactured chips mainly for Intel itself, with plans to open it up to third parties delayed to 2026.
