Intel to develop made-to-order chips for Microsoft
Microsoft plans to use Intel’s 18A manufacturing technology to make a forthcoming chip that the software maker designed in-house
Intel has landed Microsoft as a customer for its made-to-order chip business, marking a key win for an ambitious turnaround effort under chief executive Pat Gelsinger.
Microsoft plans to use Intel’s 18A manufacturing technology to make a forthcoming chip that the software maker designed in-house, the two companies said at an event Wednesday. They didn’t identify the product, but Microsoft recently announced plans for two homegrown chips: a computer processor and an artificial intelligence accelerator.
