TSMC reportedly approached a handful of US AI chipmakers to potentially operate Intel's foundry in a joint venture.

Shares of Intel are jumping more than 7% in premarket trading following a report that TSMC has approached U.S. chip designers Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, and Broadcom about forming a joint venture to own and run the chipmaker's foundry division.

The Taiwanese chipmaker intends to run operations of Intel’s fab division but does not want to own more than 50% of it and is looking for more than one partner.
