The Trump administration is taking places for approximately 10 % stake in Intel Corp. , A possible investment of about $ 10 billion that would make the United States government the largest contributor to the chip maker, according to a report issued by Bloomberg. This step, which can include converting grants granted under the Chips Law to property rights, coincides with a separate investment of $ 2 billion from SoftBank Group in Japan.
According to the data from the IndexBox platform, the global semiconductor market remains very focused, as Intel faces intensive competition. Prick for potential capital is seen as a decisive step for Intel to restore its feet in advanced manufacturing and develop artificial intelligence chips, and the sectors in which it lost its share in the big market against its competitors such as Taiwan SemiConductor Manufacturing Co. And Nvidia Corp.
Softbank, which has been announced at $ 23 per share, is a strategic bet on the possibilities of manufacturing Intel chips to support its ambitions in artificial intelligence. Founder Masayoshi Son is following the “Izanagi” project to develop Amnesty International chip to compete with NVIDIA products. Double investments from Washington and a major technical investor provides a major vote on confidence in the lipstick of the lip company, which was recently interrogated by President Trump.
Discussions highlight the US government’s most aggressive approach to strategic sectors, after similar measures such as obtaining a stake in the United States Steel Corp. While the accurate structure and the time of the possible governmental property rights share is still in a state of flow, it will represent large legal funds that are originally intended as a return to meet the project’s features. The focus on management is especially on ensuring the completion of the delaying Intel project in Oiu.
