SAN FRANCISCO, April 24 (Reuters) - Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan met recently with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co's CEO to discuss how the two companies could collaborate, Tan said during a conference call with analysts on Thursday.
"We clearly view TSMC as our partner, and they have been very good partners to have. (TSMC Chairman) Morris (Chang) and $(CEO)$ CC (Wei) are very long-time friends of mine. We also met recently (to) try to find areas we can collaborate and so that we can create a win, win situation," Tan said on a call after Intel reported its quarterly results.
