It looks like AMD and Intel might be exploring one of the most unexpected partnerships in years. According to a new report from Semafor, AMD is in early talks with Intel about using Intel Foundry Services to manufacture some of its chips. Normally, AMD relies almost entirely on TSMC for production, so shifting even part of its manufacturing to Intel would be a big move. The last time the two companies worked closely together was the Kaby Lake-G project, where Intel CPUs were paired with AMD graphics. Still, having Intel as a backup could provide insurance if AMD ever faced supply constraints or political hurdles.
