Intel turns to Apple for potential investment as it looks to rebuild chip business

Intel seeks Apple investment as part of a broader $7 billion funding boost from Nvidia, SoftBank, and the U.S. government to support its semiconductor turnaround strategy.

  • On Wednesday, Intel Corp. approached Apple Inc. about a possible investment to shore up finances, sending Intel shares up 6.4% to $31.22.
  • With partial U.S. government ownership through CHIPS Act funding, Intel, led by CEO Lip-Bu Tan, is pursuing a turnaround after losing ground to rivals and operational setbacks.
  • Recent financing from outside investors shows Nvidia Corp. committed $5 billion and SoftBank Group Corp. offered $2 billion, while Bloomberg says Apple talks remain preliminary.
  • Industry observers say an Apple investment would provide credibility and capital to Intel and help Apple hedge geopolitical risks by boosting U.S.-based manufacturing.
  • Apple abandoned Intel years ago for Apple Silicon made by TSMC, and Intel still must prove 18A/14A nodes and the Panther Lake CPU to attract customers.
