Apple reportedly has a deal to use Intel-made chips again

According to a recent report from The Wall Street Journal, Apple and Intel have come to a preliminary agreement for Intel to manufacture chips for Apple hardware. This marks a significant shift, as Apple had previously replaced Intel processors with its proprietary Apple Silicon chips in its computers.

Unclear product details

It is not yet known which Apple devices will incorporate Intel chips or what type of chips will be supplied. Both companies have declined to provide specific comments for now. Apple's current chip manufacturing partner is TSMC, based in Taiwan, but the company has reportedly explored options with other manufacturers, including Samsung and Intel, to possibly produce chips in the United States.

Recent developments at Intel

Intel has undergone several changes lately, including the appointment of a new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, in March 2025. Additionally, the U.S. government recently acquired a 10 percent stake in the company, further emphasizing Intel's strategic importance. Industry analysts, such as Ming-Chi Kuo, have suggested that Intel could begin supplying Apple’s entry-level M-series processors as soon as 2027.
