Increased Use of 3rd-Party Foundry Operators
Besides selling capacity to others, Intel is expanding its use of third-party foundry capacity across its portfolio. Gelsinger said Intel will increase usage of foundries operated by Global Foundries, Samsung and TSMC.
“As we grow the business, we expect our engagement with foundries to grow that both size and scope,” Gelsinger said. “This includes manufacturing a range of modular tiles on advanced process technologies, including products at the core of our compute offerings for both client and data center segments. This will provide us with increased flexibility and scale we need to optimize our road maps for cost, performance, schedule and supply, giving us a unique competitive advantage.”
