Intel's foundry business and Arm announce a collaboration involving multi-generation cutting-edge system chip design
This collaboration will bring Arm cores and
A powerful combination of Intel's Ami-era process technologies
Santa Clara, California and Cambridge, UK, April 12, 2023 – Intel Foundry Services (IFS) and Arm today announced the signing of a multi-generation cutting-edge system-on-chip design. The agreement aims to enable chip design companies to develop low-power computing system-on-chips (SoCs) using Intel's 18A process technology. This cooperation will first focus on the design of mobile system-level chips, and is expected to expand to automotive, Internet of Things, data centers, aviation and government applications in the future. Arm® customers will benefit from the outstanding Intel 18A process technology when designing next-generation mobile system-on-chips, which brings new breakthrough transistor technology, effectively reducing power consumption and improving transistor performance. At the same time, they will also benefit from the strong manufacturing capabilities of Intel Foundry Services.
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said : The digitization of everything is driving growing demand for computing power. But until now, semiconductor design companies have had limited options when it comes to designing chips that take advantage of the most advanced mobile technologies. The cooperation between Intel and Arm will create more market opportunities for Intel's foundry services and provide new options and methods for semiconductor design companies to obtain first-class CPU IP and open system-level generation with cutting-edge process technology. work.
Arm CEO Rene Haas said : Arm’s secure, energy-efficient processors are at the core of hundreds of billions of devices around the world and the experience of the digital world. As the market's demands for computing and efficiency become more complex, the industry as a whole needs to maintain continuous innovation in all aspects. As Arm technology is enabling the next generation of world-changing products, Arm's collaboration with Intel will help Intel Foundry Services become an important foundry partner for our customers.
Part of Intel's IDM 2.0 strategy is to invest in leading manufacturing capabilities around the world to meet continued and long-term chip demand. This cooperation will provide a resilient global supply chain for foundry customers engaged in designing mobile SoCs based on Arm CPU cores. By unlocking Arm's cutting-edge computing portfolio and world-class IP through Intel process technology, Arm partners will be able to take advantage of Intel's open system-level foundry that encompasses not only traditional wafer manufacturing, but also packaging, software and die. model.
Intel Foundry Services Group and Arm will conduct design process co-optimization (DTCO). Among them, chip design and process technology will be optimized together to improve the power consumption, performance, area and cost (PPAC) of the Arm core for Intel 18A process technology. Intel 18A offers two breakthrough technologies - PowerVia to optimize power delivery and RibbonFET, a gate-all-around (GAA) transistor architecture to optimize performance and power consumption. Intel Foundry Services and Arm will develop a mobile reference design to demonstrate software and system knowledge to foundry customers. As the industry evolves from Design Process Co-Optimization (DTCO) to System Process Co-Optimization (STCO), Arm and Intel Foundry Services will work together to fully leverage Intel's unique open system-level foundry model, through packaging and silicon Optimize applications and software platforms.
