Intel is making 14nm application processors for Spreadtrum
Communications with sample shipments starting in October, and the pair
is eyeing orders from Samsung Electronics.
Spreadtrum with its 14nm chips built by Intel
is looking to grab orders for Samsung's mid-range smartphone series for
2017.
Spreadtrum is also contracting
TSMC to build chips using the foundry's 16nm process technology, In the pure-play foundry space, Intel has grown its
customer base at a gradual pace.
Intel previously
introduced LG Electronics as the first company to use its 10nm process
technology to build ARM-based mobile SoCs. LGE is reportedly among
TSMC's 16nm and 28nm clients.
With a workforce of
nearly 2,000 people, Intel's foundry business is targeting fabless
customers based mainly in China, South Korea, Japan and other countries
of Asia.
In addition, a team of Intel employees stationed in Shanghai is
able to provide local services in China.
