Faster 12-nanometer semiconductors

Intel and UMC have announced a mega-deal to work together on making 12-nanometer semiconductors faster and more powerful.

The long-term agreement will see Intel, based in the US, and UMC, based in Taiwan, combine their strengths to create a new process platform for high-growth markets such as mobile, communication, and networking.

The deal will give global customers more choice and flexibility in where they get their chips from, with access to a more diverse and reliable supply chain.

Intel's boss, Stuart Pann, said, "Taiwan has been a key player in the global tech scene for decades, and Intel is keen to work with innovative companies like UMC to serve our customers better."

He added: "Our collaboration with UMC shows our commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology and manufacturing across the global chip industry and is a big step towards our goal of becoming the world's second-biggest foundry by 2030."
