Intel must cut deal with Apple
 

Chipzilla must take some extraordinary strategic moves in order to regain lost momentum and analyst firm IC Insights believes that Intel must cut a deal with Apple over Fab 42 production.

According to a press release, IC Insights points to Fab 42 in Chandler, Arizona. This facility is currently a shell and was intended to have a built-out capacity of 40,000 300mm wafers per month.

Intel stated that it expects the facility to be used for manufacturing at the 10nm process node after first ramping and running 14nm production.

But IC Insights said that this does not make sense and Intel should consider another radical move and put the fab to use manufacturing ICs for another, possibly competing, company.
