SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan met recently with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co's CEO to discuss how the two companies could collaborate, Tan said during a conference call with analysts on Thursday.
"We clearly view TSMC as our partner, and they have been very good partners to have. (TSMC Chairman) Morris (Chang) and (CEO) CC (Wei) are very long-time friends of mine. We also met recently (to) try to find areas we can collaborate and so that we can create a win, win situation," Tan said on a call after Intel reported its quarterly results.
Wei was in Silicon Valley this week as TSMC held its annual technology conference. Tan also attended the conference, according to two Reuters witnesses who saw him there.
