Chip manufacturing giant Intel has partnered up with Taiwan's second-largest contract chip manufacturer, United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC), for advanced manufacturing process technology, suggests a report from FundaAI. Intel, under its CEO Lip-Bu Tan, is seeking to compete with Taiwan's TSMC in the contract chip manufacturing industry. According to the details, UMC is seeking to team up with Intel to gain a foothold in advanced chip manufacturing without having to expend significant amounts of capital for the machinery.
While most of the focus when it comes to Taiwan's contract chip manufacturer is on TSMC, the island's second-largest chip manufacturer, UMC, also plays a key role in the sector. Not only is UMC Taiwan's first contract chip manufacturing company, but it also manufactures products on mature process technology nodes. These products are used across a diverse set of industrial and other applications.
