Nothing has been submitted to Intel and Broadcom could decide not to pursue a deal, according to the Journal. 

Bloomberg News earlier reported that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is in early talks for a controlling stake in Intel’s factories at the request of Trump administration officials, as the president looks to boost American manufacturing and maintain US leadership in critical technologies. 

Broadcom and TSMC aren’t working together and all talks so far are preliminary and largely informal, the Journal reported.

Fortune Global Forum returns Oct. 26–27, 2025 in Riyadh. CEOs and global leaders will gather for a dynamic, invitation-only event shaping the future of business. Apply for an invitation.
