Qualcomm CEO admits Intel's chip production technology is not up to standard

Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon stated that Intel's current production technology has not yet reached the supplier standards of mobile phone processor manufacturers. Amon said on the show that if Intel can improve its manufacturing process to produce more energy-efficient chips, Qualcomm would consider collaborating with it. "Intel is not an option for us right now," Amon admitted, "but we hope to include it in our options in the future." The CEO said that Qualcomm will continue to cooperate with its existing foundries TSMC and Samsung Electronics. As a chip design company, Qualcomm, like most companies in the industry, adopts an outsourced production model. Intel, once the world's largest chip manufacturer, is trying to reverse its decline by attracting external customers such as Qualcomm while maintaining its own chip manufacturing business.

The US revoked Samsung, SK Hynix, and Intel's VEU exemption in China, and the window for localization of memory has opened again

On August 30th, reporters discovered through Federal Register filings dated August 29, 2025, that the Trump administration has decided to revoke the Validated End-User (VEU) authorizations for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix's operations in China. This policy change, effective 120 days after the announcement, aims to further restrict China's access to advanced chip manufacturing technology and could exacerbate tensions in the global semiconductor supply chain. Wang Shuyi, chief analyst at Discovery Technology, told reporters that Samsung and Hynix have significant production capacity in China. If the US completely cuts off the supply chain, it would be difficult to find non-US alternatives in the short term, and there would be insufficient time to relocate existing production capacity, potentially leading to tight memory supply.
