“Foundry customers are rapidly embracing a modular design approach to differentiate their products and accelerate time to market. Intel Foundry Services is well-positioned to lead this major industry inflection. With our new investment fund and open chiplet platform, we can help drive the ecosystem to develop disruptive technologies across the full spectrum of chip architectures.” Pat Gelsinger, CEO at Intel wrote in the open letter. The fund will prioritise investments in capabilities that accelerate foundry customers’ time to market and will envelop items such as intellectual property (IP), software tools, innovative chip architectures, and advanced packaging technologies. In addition, Intel also announced that it will be partnering up with several companies aligned with the fund to enable modular products with an open chiplet platform, as well as design approaches that leverage multiple instruction set architectures (ISAs), from x86 to RISC-V.
