Associate report that Intel company forms a division, which will be occupied by the contract production of microcircuits.
Some analysts report that Intel is hardly interested in contract activity due to its desire to earn. Most likely, the possibility to obtain access to the promising developments of some young company, which do not have the possibility to independently release microcircuits forced Intel to similar decision . Hardly Intel will succeed in competing with TSMC and other traditional contractors on the of cost of services, but higher prices will be justified by the more moved technologies.
Intel does not make high-sounding declarations about the plans relative to this sphere of activity. Possibly, Intel desires to increase the equipment workload degree and efficiency under the conditions for a certain reduction in the demand for microcircuits due to of global economic crisis.
