Apple and Intel have reached a preliminary agreement for Intel to manufacture lower-end processors for iPhone and Mac, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal and MacRumors.
Intel to manufacture lower-end processors
The deal would allow Apple to diversify its chip manufacturing away from TSMC. Intel has been focusing on advanced nodes like 14A (1.4 nm) and 18A (1.8 nm) under new leadership.
No pricing or availability details have been announced for the processors or the partnership.
The move would mark a significant shift in Apple's supply chain, which has relied heavily on TSMC for its custom chips. Intel's recent push into foundry services aims to compete with TSMC and Samsung.
Apple has not officially confirmed the agreement, and the exact details of the deal remain unclear.
