Intel is making strides in its bid to become a true player in the contract chip manufacturing business. Sources familiar with the matter told Reuters that

NVIDIA and Broadcom are running manufacturing tests with Intel and its new 18A process node, with AMD still thinking about using Intel's 18A process.

Intel's 18A process could boost its struggling chip business, with Nvidia, Broadcom, and AMD considering using it. Intel stock surged after report.

The tests could bring Intel orders worth hundreds of millions of US dollars. However, the Group's contract manufacturing business is struggling with delays.

Intel was gaining early Monday on the prospect its chip-manufacturing business could gain major customers in Nvidia and Broadcom. Chip designers Nvidia and Broadcom are both running tests on Intel’s 18A manufacturing process,

Intel (INTC) shares climbed nearly 4% in morning trading on Friday after a Reuters report said that Nvidia (NVDA) and Broadcom (AVGO) are running manufacturing tests using Intel’s 18A process.
