Samsung Electronics vice-chairman Lee Jae Yong has recently met up with Intel's chief executive officer, Pat Gelsinger, to talk about cooperation in their chip businesses. It was reported that the two agreed to join hands and catch up with their rivals, such as the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).
On Monday, May 30, the company chiefs held a meeting at Samsung Elec's headquarters in Seoul, and they discussed things related to chipmaking and chip development for the next generation. Lee and Gelsinger will forge a chip alliance, and industry analysts said that this would allow the South Korean company to move in and race against its bigger rival in the business, which is the Taiwanese chip firm, the TSMC.

"Vice Chairman Lee and Gelsinger had a number of meetings to share views on the collaboration in different areas, such as next-generation memory chips, system-on-chips, foundry, PC and mobile," Samsung Elec stated regarding the conference.
