On Friday, China's General Administration of Customs implemented a new rule that determines the country of origin for semiconductor products based on the location of wafer fabrication — not where the chips are designed, developed, or packaged.
What Happened: As a result of this development, chips designed by U.S.-based companies like Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), and Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) but manufactured by foundries in Taiwan, such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufactoring Co. Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMC#NYSE">UMC</a>), will be exempt from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44756353/xi-jinping-says-there-are-no-winners-in-tariff-war-as-china-slaps-125-tariffs-on-us-goods-urges-trump-to-immediately-correct-wrongdoings">China's 125% retaliatory tariffs</a> on U.S. imports, <a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/chinas-new-semiconductor-rule-spares-taiwan-fabs-punishes-intel-globalfoundries-and-texas-instruments">reported</a> Tom's Hardware.
However, this rule delivers a blow to U.S. chipmakers like Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), GlobalFoundries (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFS#NASDAQ">GFS</a>), and Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>), which fabricate their chips domestically.
Products from these companies will now face the full brunt of China&#8217;s import tariffs, dramatically impacting their competitiveness in the Chinese market.

The China Semiconductor Industry Association (CSIA) issued a notice clarifying that the "country of origin" for all chips — packaged or unpackaged — will be based solely on where the wafers were processed.
Because China considers Taiwan part of its own territory, chips produced in Taiwanese fabs are not subject to the punitive tariffs, even if designed and sold by American firms.

Why It Matters: This change effectively divides U.S. semiconductor firms into winners and losers. Designers like Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), and Qualcomm benefit from outsourcing production to Taiwan, which keeps their products tariff-free and their access to China intact.
Meanwhile, chipmakers with U.S.-based fabrication operations—such as Intel's fabs in Arizona and Oregon and GlobalFoundries' Fab 8 in New York—are now disadvantaged.
The rule bolsters China's geopolitical stance by treating Taiwan as a domestic supplier and incentivizes more outsourcing to Taiwanese and Chinese foundries, the report noted.
It may also redirect chip business away from U.S. fabs, pushing global firms to avoid sourcing from the U.S. to sidestep tariffs.
In a note released Thursday, Goldman Sachs economists, led by Andrew Tilton, warned that the abrupt hike in U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports — raised to 125% as of April 9 — could significantly impact China's economy and put as many as 20 million export-related jobs at risk.
Qualcomm has a growth score of 60.95, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it stacks up against</a> companies like Nvidia, AMD, TSMC, Intel, and others.

The merged company would prioritize research and development investments in the U.S. and could emerge as a viable alternative to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), Reuters reports. The potential deal coincided with the U.S.&#8217; efforts to boost its semiconductor supply chain amid rising geopolitical tensions.
A transaction of this nature would presumably require the approval of Chinese regulators, implying a significant hurdle, Bloomberg analysts&nbsp;Charles Shum&nbsp;and&nbsp;Steven Tseng&nbsp;stated&nbsp;on Monday.
GlobalFoundries reported a fiscal fourth-quarter 2024 revenue decline of 1% to $1.830 billion, beating the&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate of $1.829 billion. The contract chipmaker&#8217;s adjusted EPS of 46 cents beat the&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate of 44 cents.&nbsp;
GlobalFoundries expects first-quarter revenue of $1.55 billion-$1.60 billion versus the&nbsp;$1.66 billion estimate. The company expects adjusted EPS of $0.24-$0.34 versus&nbsp;the&nbsp;$0.32 estimate.
As of December 31, 2024, GlobalFoundries held $4.2 billion in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43623967/globalfoundries-beats-q4-estimates-margins-shrink-935-million-impairment-charge" rel="noreferrer noopener">cash and equivalents</a>.

Earnings per ADS of 10 cents missed the&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate of 15 cents. The company missed the&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate of $1.87 billion.&nbsp;
Price Actions:&nbsp;UMC stock is down 2.17% to $6.99 at the last check on Tuesday.

Mr. Cooper Group, Southern States Bancshares, Corcept Therapeutics And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Monday

A former executive at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) said Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) is too far behind to catch up—and should focus on mature process chips instead of trying to rival the world's top chip foundry.
What Happened: At a book launch event in Taiwan earlier this week, Chiang Shang-Yi, TSMC's former co-chief operating officer, delivered a blunt assessment of Intel's current position in the chip industry, <a href="https://udn.com/news/story/7240/8637258">reported</a> China's United Daily News.
Chiang, who played a critical role in building TSMC into a global semiconductor powerhouse, said Intel was once the "king" of the industry—but is now a "nobody."
He warned that Intel's efforts to compete with TSMC in advanced chip manufacturing, such as the 2-nanometer node, are futile, and urged the company to consider acquiring or merging with companies that specialize in mature manufacturing processes.

"Intel should merge with a mature process chipmaker," he said, without naming specific targets.
However, he alluded to two potential candidates that industry watchers believe could be Taiwan's United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMC#NYSE">UMC</a>) or U.S.-based GlobalFoundries Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFS#NASDAQ">GFS</a>), both of which produce chips using older, more stable technologies at scale.

Intel Should Stop Competing With TSMC's Cutting-Edge Chips And Merge With Mature Node Giants, Says TSMC Veteran Chiang Shang-Yi

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) is experiencing profound strategic shifts under the guidance of its new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan. As the company reorganizes its executive ranks and streamlines its chip manufacturing focus, investors looking for exposure to Intel shares might find ETFs an attractive way to take advantage of these changes. Three <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs with significant Intel stock holdings</a> that could gain from the company&#8217;s shift are outlined below.
iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>)
The iShares Semiconductor ETF is among the most widely held ETFs to track the semiconductor sector, with a high concentration in top chipmakers such as Intel. Based on its most recent holdings, Intel accounts for a decent percentage of the fund&#8217;s assets, making SOXX an excellent vehicle for investors who are optimistic about Intel&#8217;s foundry growth and cooling technology innovations.

Big Moves At Intel: These 3 ETFs Stand To Benefit

Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) SuperFluid cooling tech could be useful for Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) Blackwell Ultra GB300 chips, which were launched during its GTC conference.
What Happened: Team Blue&#8217;s SuperFluid, launched in 2023, is positioned to capture a significant share of the burgeoning cooling market for Nvidia&#8217;s upcoming AI servers.
According to Beth Kindig, a tech analyst at I/O Fund, Intel&#8217;s SuperFluid liquid cooling technology has reportedly undergone verification testing demonstrating its ability to manage thermal dissipation of up to 1,500 watts.
This performance benchmark suggests that SuperFluid could be a viable cooling solution for Nvidia&#8217;s GB300 AI processor, which is anticipated to consume up to 1,400 watts of power.

Intel's SuperFluid Cooling Tech 'Possibly Suitable For Nvidia's GB300' Chips, Says Expert Amid INTC's Efforts To Secure Commitments For Foundry Services

Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) is reportedly strategizing to rejuvenate its chip design and broaden its foundry business, with the potential of securing significant clients such as Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>).
What Happened: UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri believes Intel&#8217;s new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, will prioritize the company&#8217;s design and foundry capabilities in the immediate plan. Arcuri further stated that Intel is on the verge of securing commitments from Nvidia or Broadcom to utilize its foundry services, while also progressing its 18A manufacturing process, <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4424421-intel-ceos-plan-may-focus-on-design-getting-nvidia-broadcom-as-foundry-customers-ubs">reported</a> Seeking Alpha.
Arcuri stated that Nvidia seems more likely than Broadcom to adopt Intel&#8217;s foundry technology, possibly for gaming applications, though power consumption remains a significant concern. 
Intel is also said to be planning to compete more aggressively with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>)&nbsp;enhancing its packaging innovations.&nbsp;The company&#8217;s partnership with United Microelectronics Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMC#NYSE">UMC</a>) is progressing well, with production expected to start in late 2026. This could establish them as a secondary high-voltage FinFET supplier after TSMC and potentially lead to future collaborations with Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
Arcuri stated that further details on Intel&#8217;s foundry developments will be revealed at the upcoming Direct Connect event on April 29.

Why It Matters: The strategic shift comes in the wake of a leadership change at Intel. The company&#8217;s stock rallied following the announcement of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44434095/intel-stock-rallies-on-leadership-change-time-to-buy-or-wait">its new CEO</a>, with shares increasing by approximately 25%. In his first statement after being chosen as the new CEO, Tan pointed towards an overhaul plan including cost-cutting measures, a restructuring of management and a renewed focus on AI chip production.&nbsp;
He has openly criticized former CEO Pat Gelsinger's approach, especially in manufacturing and decision-making. One of Tan's main priorities is overhauling Intel Foundry, which supplies chips to companies like Microsoft and Amazon. He is also expected to revive AI initiatives beyond servers, focusing on software, robotics, and AI foundation models.
Meanwhile, the new Intel CEO is all set to deliver an opening keynote at Intel Vision 2025 on March 31 in Las Vegas wherein he is scheduled to address how the company aims to empower innovative solutions and accelerate business success in the AI era.
Intel stock climbed 5.35% over the past month. It closed 0.16% lower on Monday at $24.22.
Intel holds a momentum rating of 27.89% and a growth rating of 3.76%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/report/INTC" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga's Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.
