The market for semiconductors is no longer developed according to the old rules, new economic conditions force players to think more flexibly. Intel assumed the role of contract producer of 22 nm microcircuits for young company, and Toshiba preferred to charge the release of microcircuits TSMC and Samsung in order to be concentrated in memory production .
Order for the production of chipset intel series panther point, which will work together with 22 nm processors ivy bridge, can be made at the capacities of TSMC company.
According to intel concept , this step will not only optimize expenses, but also free the capacities of company for more progressive and more profitable production. The chipset panther point will be released on older technical process than the 22 nm processors ivy bridge.
