Intel Atom Processor Makloon to TSMC Taiwan

This is the first time Intel Corp. "submit" confidential property of their processors manufactured at the factory to another. Some of the production of Intel Atom processors have been using a 45 nanometer process technology will be factory processor makloon to TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company).

Outsourcing project is to be announced Monday (2 / 3) by Intel Corp.. Intel spokesman, said they have been doing work intensively with their party outsourcing, TSMC, to make some of the wireless chip and other products.

According to the representatives of Intel in California, this is the first Intel CPU core allows them processed in a factory, which has become their plans to create chips for other companies. Cooperation is a cross the world's largest manufacturer with a semiconductor company that is also the largest in the world. As a manufacturer, Intel micro-processors in the supply amount of the very large to be processed into a computer brain.

According to Doug Davis, Vice President Group Corporate Intel Atom chip that will work for the needs of netbook and mobile devices, such as a digital entertainment device in the car, video conference, as well as kiosks and interactive robot. Atom chips can provide a variety of multimedia features and high internet connection high-band width required by many mobile devices at this time. Be at approximately 2.5 watts and forth between the speed of 1.6 GHz and 1.10 GHz, the chip will also offer the integration of 2D and 3D.

Doug hopes, improving the working relationship with the TSMC will be running in a significant way because of the cooperation will open the path-line sales for the new Atom. Atom can be made harmonious with TSMC processes, Intel will be easier to sell to companies that already have electronic braided cooperation with TSMC and the purchase of a lot of matches with their products, especially with this chip.

This is the first step as Intel sells a chip thin again in the smart phone or other electronic devices.
