In a move reflecting global efforts to diversify semiconductor supply chains, Google and Nvidia are exploring Intel’s foundry services as a strategic manufacturing alternative. According to reports, Google has already taken a concrete step by ordering more than 3 million Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) from Intel, with production slated for 2028. This shift aims to reduce the industry's heavy reliance on Taiwan's TSMC, which currently dominates the production of advanced AI and computing chips.
This transition occurs amidst intense market competition where Nvidia's valuation has reached historic levels driven by AI demand, while Intel aggressively pursues a turnaround through its Foundry business. Per market data, TSM (TSMC) closed at $415.17, while rival AMD stood at $466.38 as of June 5, 2026. Analysts suggest that securing mega-cap clients like Google and Nvidia serves as a critical validation of Intel's long-term strategy to compete with Asian fabrication giants.
