Intel CEOPat Gelsinger He said that before the UK left the EU, the country 'would have been a site that we would have considered'. But he added: "after Brexit ... we are looking at EU countries and seeking EU support."
And it is that Intel wants to increase its production in a context of global shortage of chips It has affected many sectors, including the automotive industry. Intel, which is one of the world's largest semiconductor manufacturers, He says the crisis has shown the United States and Europe are too dependent on Asia for their chip-making needs.
In his first speech since taking over as a director of Intel in February, the CEO Pat Gelsinger predicted that semiconductors will make up more than 20% of the total premium vehicle nomenclature by 2030.
That's a growth rate five times higher than the 4% figure in 2019. So far, only a handful of companies have managed to integrate the technologies needed to etch smaller and smaller elements into silicon, and the mastery of extreme ultraviolet lithography. TSMC's (EUV) helped catapult him to the forefront of the pack.
The Taiwanese company and the South Korean company Samsung are the only two semiconductor companies currently using UVU to produce logic chips. on a commercial scale, and TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) dominates at the forefront, with more than 80% of world production.
"Semiconductor shortages will severely disrupt the supply chain and limit the production of many types of electronic products and equipment in 2021," Kanishka Chauhan, a senior research analyst at Gartner, said in May. "Foundries drive up wafer prices, and chipmakers in turn drive up device prices," he added.
Intel announced in August that it had obtained a service contract casting as part of a Department of Defense program to support advanced semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S. In its argument in favor of the project, Intel argues that "the United States is lagging behind in semiconductor manufacturing and Congress must act now to fix it."
Intel has yet to introduce UVU into the manufacture of any of its commercial products, and it will not adopt this technology on a large scale until the second half of 2023. Meanwhile, TSMC announced a year later that it owned 50% of all EUV machines installed and had manufactured 60% of all wafers produced with this technology, which gives it a great advantage.
In September, Gelsinger recalled that Intel plans to build at least two new semiconductor factories last generation in Europe, with plans for future investments that could reach 80 billion euros in the next decade. He also detailed the elements of the strategy announced by the company and explained how these programs will apply specifically to the automotive and mobility industries in the European Union.
Intel Foundry Services, announced in March, are actively engaged in discussions with potential customers in Europe, including automotive companies and their suppliers. Today, most automotive chips are manufactured using ancient process technologies. As automotive applications depend on higher performance processing, chips are also beginning to migrate to more advanced processing technologies.
Intel is partnering with major players in the automotive industry and committing significant resources in Europe to foster this transition around the world over the next few years. The company has announced plans to establish committed foundry capacity at its factory in Ireland. and launch the Intel Foundry Services Accelerator to help automotive chip designers move to advanced nodes. To achieve this, Intel has established a new design team and offers standard and custom IP to meet the unique needs of automotive customers.
Intel CEO predicts digital technology will increase semiconductor share of total new high-end vehicle nomenclature to more than 20% by 2030, more than 5 times more than 4% in 2019 Total automotive silicon addressable market it will more than double by the end of the decade to reach $ 115 billion, or about 11% of the total silicon market.
To meet growing demand, Intel plans to build new chip manufacturing plants in Europe, establish a committed foundry capacity at its Irish site, and launch the Intel Foundry Services Accelerator to help foundry customers take automotive designs to advanced nodes.

A clear example of how unscrupulous bad politicians can sink an economically strong country. From a jerk with zoophilic leanings like Cameron, who called a referendum to get out, to campaign not to get out and then lose that referendum. From the Eurosceptics who campaigned on the basis of manipulations and lies and all kinds of nonsense that have placed the UK on the edge of the abyss. That the EU is a megalithic monstrosity full of corrupt and parasites is fairly clear, but in such a globalized world it has its advantages. It was necessary to fight to change the structure from within and more with the power that UK has but they opted for the most populist measure thinking that they would revive past glories. It was a mistake and we will see where it takes them.
