AMD and Intel's unlikely chipmaking partnership isn't without its benefits — how AMD could divest reliance on TSMC

AMD and Intel are in early discussions for AMD to manufacture some chips at Intel Foundry, potentially reducing AMD's reliance on TSMC. This partnership could help Intel's foundry business gain credibility and attract external validation. While AMD is closely aligned with TSMC, supply constraints and geopolitical risks are pushing the company to diversify its manufacturing options. Although no agreement has been reached, the potential collaboration signifies a significant shift in the semiconductor industry landscape.
