Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan Calls TSMC a Partner, Not a Rival

Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan described Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) as a peer and partner rather than a rival, even as Intel works to establish a standalone foundry business, according to Wccftech.

Tan discussed competition in the semiconductor industry in an interview on the A Bit Personal podcast. The interview was conducted by Jodi Sheldon, founder of the Global Semiconductor Alliance.

The interview also covered Tan’s work schedule since taking over Intel and his approach to layoffs, drawing on his experience running a venture capital firm. Wccftech’s summary says Tan took over Intel last year, but does not specify the year in the provided material.
