“Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger (pictured) told employees Friday that he has texted with Vice President-elect JD Vance since the election and that Gelsinger is optimistic that the incoming Trump administration will support efforts to boost the domestic semiconductor industry,” says Semiwiki, “while Gelsinger didn’t disclose anything about the
