… Manufacturing these custom processors has traditionally been handled by TSMC, but Bloomberg now reports that Apple has been in talks with both Intel Foundry and Samsung Foundry to manufacture some of its chips in the coming months. …
… As a refresher, Intel Foundry is currently using the 18A process node to build the Panther Lake and Wildcat Lake processor lineups, with some external components from TSMC. …
… It's IBM's 2nm process tech that now underpins Rapidus' foundry push. After starting pilot production last year, the fab released a preliminary PDK, or process design kit, to early adopters. …
… Zuhair's expertise lies in deconstructing complex topics such as fabrication nodes e.g., 2nm process , the economic impact of policies like the CHIPS Act, and the strategic development of AI infrastructure from NVIDIA, AMD and Intel. …
… With the recent breakthroughs Intel has seen with its 18A process, the foundry division has managed to bring the momentum that could potentially lead to external customers flowing in, and according to a report by DigiTimes , NVIDIA is now exploring Intel's 14A/18A process for Feynman's I/O die, alo… …
… The Enablement Readiness Cycle: Getting to Market Faster This all feeds into the enablement readiness cycle—a core strategy for delivering validated design flows, certified IP, and process-aligned methodologies in sync with foundry technology ramps. …
… Measured in 12-inch 300 mm wafer equivalents across all of its machines and all of the many different process nodes that TSMC still etches chips in, the foundry made 4.17 million wafers in Q 2026, which was a record for the company, besting even the 4.09 million wafers it produced in Q3 2025. …
… Chipsets According to a Hankyung report, Samsung Foundry has secured a substantial order from Intel to produce Intel's chipsets on Samsung Foundry's 8nm process node. …
… There were expectations of a joint venture, likely a licensing agreement where a partner foundry would provide relevant process technology, while Tesla would finance and set up the infrastructure required for production, and this is exactly what has happened with the Intel Foundry deal. …
