In recent years, the company has missed the deadline for new production process development, leading to the collapse of this strategy, while most other chip manufacturers employ OEM companies to help design. Kissinger's move aims to help restore Intel's reputation. At the same time, Intel will also strive to shift its technological power back to the United States and Europe, so as to get rid of its excessive dependence on Asian chip manufacturing. < / P > < p > according to Kissinger, Intel is creating a new Department called Intel foundry services, whose goal is to "become an OEM manufacturer with the United States and Europe as the core, so as to meet the needs of global semiconductor manufacturing". To support this effort, Intel will begin to significantly increase its manufacturing capacity, including spending $20 billion to build two new plants in its existing Chandler, Arizona, park, which will create 3000 permanent jobs. In addition, Intel will announce further capacity expansion in the United States, Europe and other regions later this year. Kissinger promised that the company would choose the location of the new plant in Europe and the United States next year. At present, the company has built factories in Ireland, Israel and China. < / P > < p > Intel will use these factories to make its own chips, but it will also be open to external customers, which is known as the "OEM" business model in the chip industry. The new plant will focus on cutting-edge computing chip manufacturing, unlike older or specialized chip production that manufacturers such as global foundries specialize in, Mr. Kissinger said. Intel has found customers for the new plant, but they cannot be identified. < / P > < p > Kissinger previously said that Amazon, Cisco, Qualcomm and Microsoft all support their efforts to provide chip manufacturing services. However, this new strategy will directly challenge two other companies in the world that can manufacture the most advanced chips, namely TSMC and Samsung Electronics. The two companies have dominated the semiconductor manufacturing industry for many years and shifted their focus from the United States to Asia, where more than two-thirds of the advanced chips are now made. < / P > < p > TSMC has previously announced plans to build a new plant in Arizona, which costs US $12 billion and is expected to receive US government subsidies. Meanwhile, Samsung is seeking government incentives to spend $17 billion to expand its chip plant in Austin, Texas. < / P > < p > Kissinger said Intel will work to strengthen its OEM business to change this global balance, although Intel has always been a secondary player in this field in history. He said Intel will provide chip customers with the ability to license their core technology, namely x86 instruction set architecture, as well as the ability to manufacture chips based on arm's technology or risc-v, an emerging open source technology. Intel also announced new research cooperation plans with IBM in computing chip and packaging technology. < / P > < p > but just as Intel competes with TSMC and Samsung, the company plans to become a bigger customer of the two companies, allowing them to produce sub components of their chips and make some chips in a more cost-effective way. "Whoever has the best technology, we will choose who," said kilsinger. We will leverage the internal and external supply chain and ensure the best cost structure. We believe that the combination of supply, product and cost is the trump card. " < / P > < p > Intel is one of the only semiconductor companies that can design and manufacture their own chips at the same time. Chip design companies of competitors such as Qualcomm and apple all rely on OEM manufacturers. Investors such as third point have previously urged Intel to consider divesting its high cost chip manufacturing business to support external OEM, which is the way most chip companies increase profits. < / P > < p > Kissinger's plan may also be questioned. In addition to recent manufacturing technology problems, Intel has tried to operate as an OEM for other chip companies in the past, but with little success. < / P > < p > < / P > < p > after Intel disclosed its new strategy and annual financial guidance for 2021, the stock surged 6.3%. Intel expects revenue of $72 billion this year and adjusted earnings per share of $4.55, while analysts expect $72.9 billion and $4.77, respectively. The company said it expects to spend between $19bn and $20bn on capital spending. Kissinger said the 2021 forecast "reflects the industry's current shortage of components such as substrates.". (small)
