Apple and Intel have reached a preliminary agreement for Intel to manufacture processors for Apple devices, a deal facilitated in part by White House intervention and Intel's status as a partly government-owned company. The arrangement — which could see Intel producing M-series chips as early as 2027 — marks Apple's first serious manufacturing diversification away from TSMC in a decade, but raises questions about Intel's yield readiness, the deal's actual strategic value, and whether it helps or hinders the broader U.S. semiconductor policy agenda.
