苹果探索与英特尔、三星合作在美国生产主芯片,减少台积电依赖
-
苹果正与英特尔和三星洽谈在美国本土生产其主要设备芯片的可能性。苹果团队已访问三星在德州建设的芯片工厂,这是苹果降低对台积电依赖、推进供应链多元化的重要举措。目前谈判仍处于早期阶段,尚未敲定具体订单或代工量。苹果对英特尔和三星的工艺是否能满足其性能和产能需求存有疑虑,但双方若能成为苹果的主要代工商,收益将相当可观——英特尔正大力投资美国本土制造业复兴,三星也在加强其美国先进芯片业务地位。
此举符合全球半导体制造业"回归本土"的大趋势,由贸易紧张局势升级和美国芯片法案激励政策推动。值得注意的是,苹果并非要完全放弃台积电,而是寻求分散风险、增强韧性的多源代工策略。最终成败取决于英特尔、三星能否在工艺先进性、产能规模和交付能力上比肩台积电。
