Intel Foundry is leading the race towards Glass Substrates with its Rio Rancho facility, aiming to become the world's first to initiate mass production. Glass Substrates Are The Future of Semiconductors & Intel Foundry is Well on Its Way To Become The First To Initiate Mass Production Glass Core substrates have been gaining interest, as they have several benefits over traditional organic substrate solutions. The current substrates are also facing shortages due to the AI supercycle, leading one of the biggest substrate suppliers, Ajinomoto, to raise prices. These supply constraints are pushing the industry to look into new advanced packaging solutions, and […]

Apple has given Intel "a once-in-a-generation window to rebuild its foundry," even if the initial order flow is quite tentative in its nature, claims the famous Apple-focused analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo. Around 80 percent of Apple's orders for Intel's 18A-P process reportedly consist of iPhone chips, "mirroring Apple's end-device sales mix" As we noted last week, Apple has now reached a preliminary chip fabrication deal with Intel. While the specifics of this agreement are not known at this time, it is likely to resemble the one between Apple and TSMC, where the former designs custom chips based on ARM's intellectual property, while the […]

Whatever else one might think of President Trump, it is plain as day that he is a connoisseur at shaping narratives. And, apparently, the President seems to have played a material role in selling an Intel deal to Apple, one that might accrue sizable short- and long-term benefits to the Cupertino-based tech giant. Apple's chip fabrication deal with Intel entails sizable margin benefits, reduces supply chain risks, and weakens TSMC's monopoly Apple has reached a preliminary chip fabrication deal with Intel, according to the Wall Street Journal. While the specifics of this agreement are not known at this time, it […]
