Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) and Broadcom (AVGO) are considering pitching deals to acquire separate pieces of Intel (INTC), The Wall Street Journal reported late Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Broadcom is interested in Intel's chip-design and marketing business, while Taiwan Semiconductor is eyeing Intel's chip manufacturing plants, the report said.
The two companies are not collaborating and no formal proposals have yet been submitted to Intel, the report said.
Taiwan Semiconductor's possible acquisition of Intel factories would entail US government regulatory approvals. The administration of President Donald Trump has indicated it would be reluctant to allow foreign ownership of Intel plants, the report said.
Intel, Broadcom, and Taiwan Semiconductor did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' requests for comment.
