Can Intel Beat TSMC?
On Nov 21, 2013 Intel CEO Brian Krzanich, in the company Investor Meeting, presented company expansion focused on a foundry plan. “You will see us focusing on a broader set of customers,” said Krzanich. “If somebody can use our silicon, and make computing better, than we want it to run better on Intel. It’s inclusive, it’s all-inclusive,” Krzanich added, as covered by Barron's blog Intel: Competitors Have Given Up ‘Scaling’ Advantage in Moore’s Law
Intel clearly believes that it can beat the pure play foundries by an ongoing reduction of transistor cost while improving performance and power with dimensional scaling – essentially maintaining the trend of Moore's law just as in the past. Intel will “not take our foot off the pedal” of process technology, Krzanich explained, and he expects the company to be making parts as small as 10 nanometers in transistor size by 2015, versus today’s 22 nanometer parts. He was followed by Bill Holt, Intel’s EVP and head of semiconductor manufacturing, showing the following slide describing Intel expectations to drive down the cost per transistor.
