Behind The Intel-GlobalFoundries Rumor

Why this deal suddenly makes a whole lot of sense.

"As of today, there are no leading-edge foundries owned by U.S. companies. Intel did not accept military contracts in the past because there wasn’t enough volume in custom chip designs. But the focus on chiplets and advanced packaging is a common cause for both Intel and the DoD, and a potentially lucrative one for Intel. And with the U.S. government’s newfound willingness to invest in domestic semiconductor technology in order to remain competitive with China, Intel could well become the beneficiary of steady government business and possibly a direct cash infusion."
