Sassine Holding an 18A Test chip

Design-Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO) has been a foundational concept in semiconductor engineering for years. So, when Synopsys referenced DTCO in their April 2025 press release about enabling Angstrom-scale chip designs on Intel’s 18A and 18A-P process technologies, it may have sounded familiar—almost expected. … Read More

Intel and UMC 2025

Intel’s historical dominance in semiconductor process technology began to erode around 2018, as competitors started delivering higher performance at smaller nodes. In response, Intel is now doubling down on innovation across two fronts: advanced process nodes such as Intel 18A and 14A, and cutting-edge packaging technologies.… Read More

Intel Foundry Direct Connect Hall 4 1024x576

Now that the dust has settled, I will give you my take on the Intel Foundry event. Some might call me a semiconductor event critic as I have attended hundreds of them over the last 40 years starting with the Design Automation Conference in 1984. Foundry events are my favorite because they really are the pulse of the semiconductor industry,… Read More

Intel has a new Billionaire CEO!
by Daniel Nenni on 03-17-2025 at 10:00 am

Lip Bu Tan was appointed chief executive officer of Intel Corpor

Great news last week as Intel fills the CEO slot for the 9th time in 56 years with industry legend Lip-Bu Tan. From what I hear, Intel employees, and the entire industry for that matter, are overjoyed. I’m sure there are one or two competing companies that are concerned but overall it is an absolute love fest.

If you look at education… Read More

Common Platform Alliance

When I do a root cause analysis of Intel’s problem it is very simple. If Intel wants to continue to be a leading-edge semiconductor manufacturer, they need to fill their fabs, all of their fabs. Clearly several things need to happen in order to do that but the one that most interests me is on the foundry side.

I think we can all agree that… Read More

Intel BSPD Power Via

One of the most enduring threads in the SemiWiki forum is What would you do if you are the Intel CEO? There are currently 128 responses and more than 45,000 views. It was originally posted March 13th, 2015, after Brain Krzanich was given the CEO position. A different time for sure but an interesting read and the responses keep on coming.… Read More
