如果您希望可以时常见面,欢迎标星收藏哦~ 来源:内容编译自日经 ,谢谢。 英特尔新任首席执行官陈立武周四表示,他最近与台湾半导体制造公司会面,讨论如何在这家美国 芯片巨头努力扩大其代工业务之际实现"双赢"合作。 虽然大多数美国半导体公司都已采用无晶圆厂模式,即他们只设计芯片,并将生产外包给台积电等 合同芯片制造商,但英特尔仍保留了集成设备制造 (IDM) 模式,即它既设计芯片,又制造芯片。 但这家美国公司一直面临着艰巨的挑战,在代工市场份额和芯片制造技术方面落后于台积电和韩国 领先者三星。 "我们明确地将台积电视为我们的合作伙伴,他们一直是非常好的合作伙伴,"陈立武在财报电话会 议上被问及英特尔是否会在未来某个时候重新考虑IDM模式时表示。"我们最近也开会讨论,试图 找到可以合作的领域,从而实现双赢。" 有报道称,台积电已提议通过与博通、英伟达等合作伙伴成立合资企业,收购英特尔的代工芯片制 造业务。但英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋在3月份的GTC人工智能大会上否认参与了此类谈判。 在本月台积电的财报电话会议上,台积电首席执行官魏哲家表示,这家台湾公司"没有与其他公司 就任何合资企业、技术许可或技术进行任何讨论"。 台 ...
