Intel will soon start manufacturing chips for Apple devices. A report by the Wall Street Journal says that both companies have completed the primary stage of the deal. Intel was once one of Apple\u2019s biggest partners before the iPhone-maker switched to its in-house Apple Silicon chipsets for its devices. Apple\u2019s latest chips are manufactured by TSMC, but due to the AI boom, TSMC\u2019s advanced production lines are in high demand from companies such as NVIDIA and AMD, which produce advanced chips for AI. The deal will help Apple reduce its reliance on TSMC and diversify its manufacturing base.<\/p>\n

The deal is also expected to benefit Intel and the US government, which is one of the largest shareholders in Intel. But more on the US government role in the deal later. For Intel, the partnership could provide continuous demand from Apple, which is one of the world\u2019s largest consumer electronics companies. It is also expected to boost Intel\u2019s reputation and strengthen its manufacturing business, which has fallen behind TSMC.<\/p>\n

Intel was once a dominant player in the chip manufacturing business. However, as smartphones became popular, the chipmaker failed to counter Qualcomm \u2014 and by extension ARM \u2014 in the mobile chip space, opening the door for rivals. The chip maker faced another major blow when AMD began taking PC CPU market share away from the company with its Ryzen processors.<\/p>\n

Why did Apple stop using Intel\u2019s chips?<\/h3>\n

Apple first introduced Intel-powered MacBooks in 2006. By 2010, however, the iPhone-maker had begun designing its own chips, starting with the Apple A4, which debuted with the first iPad and iPhone 4.<\/p>\n

Apple later faced manufacturing delays, thermal issues, and performance concerns with Intel chips, and began phasing them out from its devices in 2020. The deal would reunite the two companies years after Apple moved away from Intel-designed processors for its Mac computers and shifted to its own custom silicon.<\/p>\n
