CoinMarketCap data as of February 15th, according to U.S. media reports, chip manufacturing giant TSMC may take over the chip manufacturing business of U.S. Intel. The report said that, according to informed sources, to deal with the deteriorating business situation, Intel's board of directors began discussions with TSMC at the end of last year to explore the possibility of cooperation. The negotiations are in the early stages and the form of cooperation has not been determined. TSMC may hold the majority of Intel's chip manufacturing business with other investors. It is currently unclear how much of Intel's manufacturing business TSMC will take over and how much capital will be invested.
