Bloomberg reports that the Trump Administration in the United States is engaged in discussions with Intel regarding a possible equity investment. This development signals an escalating level of government intervention in the business sector. Analysts speculate that a successful investment by the government could exert pressure on chip design companies like NVIDIA, AMD, and Qualcomm to place orders with Intel, thereby offering financial assistance to Intel. Nevertheless, this move is unlikely to narrow the gap between Intel and the leading foundry, TSMC, in advanced manufacturing processes.
