The Intel-TSMC jv is back on the cards again, according to a report in The Information.

The report says that the two companies have reached a TSMC-HQ-150x150.jpgpreliminary agreement to form a jv that would run Intel’s fabs.

The White House and the US Department of Commerce are said to be encouraging both sides to get an agreement.

Intel and other American semiconductor companies – said to include Broadcom, AMD and Nvidia – would hold the majority of the stock in the jv which would include all or some of Intel’s fabs.>

It is reported that TSMC will acquire a 20% stake in the jv in return for sharing its manufacturing technology with Intel and training Intel staff, but TSMC will not be required to put up any capital for the stake.
