Apple Turns to Intel in Strategic Chip Alliance as AI Boom and U.S. Industrial Policy Reshape Silicon Supply Chains - Tekedia

Apple has reportedly reached a preliminary deal with Intel to manufacture some chips used in Apple devices, though the exact scope is still unclear.

The move reflects Apple’s push to diversify chip supply as AI-driven demand tightens advanced manufacturing capacity.

It could reduce Apple’s dependence on Asia-based production and reshape key semiconductor supply chains.

For Intel and U.S. industrial policy, the partnership would be a major boost to domestic chip manufacturing efforts.
