Samsung to finalize deal with Intel for U.S. support

According to media reports, Samsung is considering a strategic cooperation with Intel. Sources indicate that the interest in such a move is driven not only by business motives but also by the political climate in the United States.

In recent months, the Trump administration has shown increased attention to the American chipmaker. It was previously revealed that the government acquired a stake in Intel, setting it apart from other industry players. In this context, a partnership with Intel could give Samsung certain advantages in its dealings with the U.S. side and help it avoid new trade barriers.

The cooperation may involve the area of glass substrates. Intel had earlier abandoned independent development in this area, and some of its specialists moved to Samsung’s U.S. unit. Additionally, the American company is considering licensing its technologies, which opens the door to collaborative projects.
