The global chip crisis, which has been in our lives for a while, has negatively affected many sectors. While the production slowed down as the necessary components could not be supplied in this process, the prices skyrocketed as the intense demand could not be met. It is worth noting that companies operating in this field cooperated to overcome the crisis with minimum damage.
There has been a critical development on the subject recently, after US President Joe Biden emphasized the technology partnership of the USA and South Korea recently. Intel and Samsung met over the already ongoing chip and supply crisis.
Chip collaboration between Intel and Samsung
Samsung Electronics announced that the company’s vice president Lee Jae-yong met with Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger in Seoul. The focus of the meeting between the two companies was naturally the semiconductor sector.
Intel and Samsung sought an answer to the question of what kind of cooperation should be made in the semiconductor industry where competition is heating up. While the detailed content of the meeting has not been shared yet, Samsung stated in its statement that we exchanged ideas for new generation memory and system chips, as well as PCs and mobile devices.
Analysts interpreted this move by Intel as trying to establish more stable supply chains in the semiconductor industry. At the same time, it was stated that the meeting had an important place in order to overcome the ongoing chip crisis with minimum damage. On the other hand, it was emphasized that both manufacturers wanted to increase their share in the foundry business, dominated by TSMC, with the cooperation to be made.
The semiconductor industry has been hit hard by the chip crisis. According to the statements of the manufacturers in this field, we can say that the problem will be with us for a while.
