Will Apple turn to Intel for production of its M-series chips in 2027? That\u2019s what supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted on X Friday. Citing his latest industry surveys, Kuo says that Intel\u2019s chances of becoming Apple\u2019s latest \u201cadvanced-node supplier\u2026 has improved significantly\u201d in recent weeks. <\/p>\n

Any deal with Intel would be significant considering the chipmaker famously missed out on supplying its own processors for the original iPhone<\/a>. Apple now has a deal with Taiwan-based TSMC to supply silicon chips for its iPhone, iPad and Mac products.<\/p>\n

Intel expected to begin shipping Apple\u2019s lowest-end M processor as early as 2027<\/p>\n

There have long been market rumors that Intel could become an advanced-node foundry supplier to Apple, but visibility around this had remained low. My latest industry surveys, however, indicate that\u2026<\/p>\n

Kuo says that Apple has a non-disclosure agreement with Intel to acquire the company\u2019s 18AP PDK 0.9.1GA chips<\/a>. At this point, the company is waiting on Intel to deliver the PDK 1.0\/1.1 kit, which is supposed to arrive in the first quarter of 2026. If everything stays on track, Intel could start shipping Apple\u2019s lowest-end M-series processor, built on the 18AP advanced node, sometime in the second or third quarter of 2027, Kuo says. But that timing still depends on how smoothly things go once Apple actually gets the PDK 1.0\/1.1 kit.<\/p>\n

Kuo theorizes that a deal with Intel could help Apple demonstrate to the Trump administration that its committed to \u201cbuying American\u201d by rerouting its supply chain to include more US-based companies. For Intel, a deal could signal that the company\u2019s worst days are passed<\/a>. \u201cLooking ahead, the 14A node and beyond could capture more orders from Apple and other tier-one customers, turning Intel\u2019s long-term outlook more positive,\u201d Kuo writes. <\/p>\n

Could Apple strike a deal with Intel? And what would happen if it decided to use the chipmaker\u2019s 18AP processors for its entry-level M-series? <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
