SoftBank's Intel AI processor plans in doubt as insiders say it is now considering a TSMC partnership


SoftBank's Project Izanagi will likely use TSMC.

Despite this setback, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son remains determined to push forward with his ambitious AI plans and the sources do not rule out working with Intel in the future. Critics reportedly argue that moving Arm into direct chip design and production could strain its relationships with developers of Arm-based data center processors, but SoftBank is apparently willing to take that risk for the potential reward.
