AI Inspired. Systems Accelerated.
The shifting landscape of technology requires a multi-faceted foundry approach to keep pace with increasing workload of data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) systems. The use of chiplets and “system of chips” offer a way to unlock exponential improvements in semiconductor products. Intel Foundry is addressing these needs with decades of experience in world class manufacturing, innovative advancements in packaging and system technology optimization, delivered through a more resilient and more sustainable global supply chain. Join us as we outline how Intel Foundry is tackling the next wave of semiconductor breakthroughs.
