The likely job is advanced packaging, plus some non-core silicon around the processor.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For NVIDIA, the appeal is pretty clear. It could take some pressure off <strong>TSMC\u2019s packaging capacity<\/strong>, spread supply across more than one partner, reduce bottlenecks, and help support future production ramps. For Intel, landing work like this would give real weight to its IDM 2.0 foundry push, which is all about winning business from outside chip designers.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foveros matters here because it stacks chiplets <strong>vertically on top<\/strong> of a base die. That\u2019s different from Intel\u2019s EMIB approach, which links chips side by side. The upside is denser integration in a smaller footprint, along with faster communication between parts, better power efficiency, and stronger interconnect performance.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who follows AI chips should keep an eye on this. Earlier rumors in <strong>2026<\/strong> tied NVIDIA\u2019s Feynman GPUs to Intel\u2019s 14A or 18A process nodes, and other reports had already connected Intel to backend and foundry work for Google accelerators.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right now, though, there\u2019s no <strong>announced deal<\/strong>. Volumes, product names, revenue impact, and even the final structure are still up in the air, so this reads more like a credible industry signal than a finished contract. Still, if it does come together, it would be one of the clearest signs yet that the noise around Intel\u2019s foundry business is starting to turn into actual business.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"MSI Afterburner\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/626a286a-96d1-11e6-8631-00163ec9f5fa\/3532160850\/msi-afterburner-icon.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">MSI Afterburner<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/msi-afterburner.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/msi-afterburner.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu says NVIDIA may turn to Intel\u2019s Foveros advanced packaging in the second half of 2028, while Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.
