00:02Intel approached Apple about a possible investment and held early talks on closer collaboration, according to Bloomberg.
00:08The approach comes after NVIDIA committed $5 billion to Intel last week and SoftBag added $2 billion last month.
00:14A deal with Apple would signal support for Intel's turnaround efforts despite their history and Apple's move to in-house chips.
00:19However, Apple is unlikely to return to Intel processors as its most advanced chips are produced by TSMC.

00:33Intel shares jumped 6.4% to $31.22 after the report, while Apple slipped less than 1% to $252.31.
