Intel Reportedly Lands a Chip Deal With Apple Thanks to Trump
Intel Reportedly Lands a Chip Deal With Apple Thanks to Trump
President Donald Trump has been calling for Intel and Apple to work together ever since his administration acquired a 10% stake in the American chip company. Now, it seems the two companies may have worked out a deal.
The Wall Street Journal reported
on Friday, citing unnamed sources, that Apple and Intel have reached a preliminary agreement for Intel to produce some chips for Apple devices.
People familiar with the matter told the newspaper that the two companies had been in talks for more than a year, but only settled on a formal agreement in recent months. It’s unknown which Apple devices would use the Intel-made chips.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Gizmodo. Intel declined to comment.
Intel, founded way back in 1968, was once America’s leading computer chip company. But in recent years, it has fallen behind rivals like Nvidia and AMD during the AI boom. Its foundry business, where Intel manufactures custom chips for outside clients, has also faced stiff competition from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, better known as TSMC. Apple has long been one of TSMC’s top customers, …

Intel's stock rose 7% on Thursday, after PresidentDonald Trumpsaid the semiconductor company had agreed to a deal withAppleto design and build chips in the U.S.
"Stupid Presidents took our Economy for granted, and let Taiwan and others steal our Semiconductor Factories," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. "Apple has agreed to work with Intel to design and build its Chips in America."
Intel's stock has seen significant gains recently after struggling for years, having relinquished its dominant market position. The stock has surged 464% in the past 12 months, with the company hitting a market cap of $608.7 billion.
Intel shares were last 8.8% higher, while Apple was up 0.3% in premarket trading.
CNBC has approached Intel, Apple, the White House and the Taipei Representative Office in the U.K. for comment.
For years, Intel largely sat out the AI race as it grappled with manufacturing delays and awaited a major customer for its chip fabrication business.
But CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who took the helm early last year, has revived Wall Street interest in the struggling chipmaker by drawing investments f…

President Donald Trump hinted that Apple may have some involvement in Intel during a short press interview on Tuesday in response to a question about Washington's own stake in the company. His comments imply that Cupertino has bought into the company,
following in Nvidia’s footsteps
after
the White House took a 10% stake in the company
, but there is a possibility they are erroneous.
The comment came after a reporter asked the President, “Intel stock is really high after you invested. Are you going to invest more in Intel?” Trump answered, “I like it, you know? Well, I don’t know about Intel, but I’ll invest more in other things. As you know, Intel came to see me; they needed help. And I said I’ll help you, but I want 10% of your company to go to the United States of America.” Trump also added later, “
As soon as we went in, Apple went in, Nvidia went in, a lot of smart people went …
