The Biden administration has finalized up to $7.86B in direct funding for Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) as part of the CHIPS and Science Act. That’s down from $8.5B funding initially proposed in March. The final total award is less than the proposed preliminary award due to a congressional requirement to use CHIPS funding to pay for the Secure Enclave

The U.S. Commerce Department said Tuesday it was finalizing a $7.86 billion government subsidy for Intel , down from $8.5 billion announced in March after the California-based chips maker won a separate $3 billion award from the Pentagon.
