Apple and Intel are rumored to be exploring a partnership in the chip-making industry. While Apple has successfully transitioned to using its own custom silicon processors in its devices, there are talks of Intel and Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC forming a joint venture. This collaboration could see TSMC assisting Intel in improving its chip manufacturing processes, potentially leading to a stronger Intel and better chip options for consumers. With TSMC's expertise and Intel's resources, this partnership has the potential to benefit both companies in the competitive semiconductor market.
