Intel may have its i740 chip manufactured by TSMC, which also happens to be CUBE's foundry! techweb.cmp.com A service of Semiconductor Business News, CMP Media Inc. Story posted at 4 p.m. EST/1 p.m. PST, 2/17/98 Intel, TSMC reportedly discuss foundry deal for MPUs and i740 By Mark LaPedus HSINCHU, Taiwan -- Intel Corp. is reportedly in talks with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC) here to have certain microprocessor products and graphic chips manufactured by the silicon foundry. Sources said reports are circulating around Taiwan indicating that Intel could decide to have its high-end Pentium II processors and new i740 chips made by TSMC, the world's largest IC-wafer foundry company. Officials from Intel and TSMC declined to comment on possible talks between the two companies, however. One local analyst said it was unlikely that TSMC would make Intel's Pentium II. Instead, the analyst said it was more likely that TSMC would make Intel's i740. Intel and TSMC are certainly no strangers. TSMC already makes selected microcontroller products on a foundry basis for Intel. If Intel decides to have microprocessors made by the Taiwan foundry, it would be TSMC's second agreement covering MPUs in recent months. Late last year, Cyrix Corp.--now a subsidiary of National Semiconductor Corp.--signed a deal to have its code-named "M2" processors made by TSMC.
