Intel Cold Food Preparedness Shock PC and Semiconductor Factory

Although Intel's revenue and profit reached record highs in the first half of 2011, due to the unprecedented low tide in the PC market, not only will the next-generation Ivy Bridge be delayed in the first quarter, but also the suspension of the Fab 24 factory in the near future. The rice process upgrade plan, internal and continuing to control the cost of all aspects of the cost, Intel preparations for winter practices, fear of impact related PC and semiconductor industry, including wafer and semiconductor manufacturing equipment plant, may be affected in the short term.

The global PC market was weak, but Intel, the PC platform leader, was unexpected. In the first half of 2011, the company once again paid a profit and achieved high innovation. In fact, Intel’s performance in terms of revenue for various products is maintained. The profitability was mainly attributable to the outstanding performance of the data center business group of servers, cloud computing, network, and high-performance computing. This is also thanks to the rise of mobile devices led by Google and Apple, and driving the adoption of cloud computing applications. Thanks, therefore, although the growth momentum of PC has obviously slowed down, Intel, which has nearly 90% of the world's server platforms, still achieved bright results in the first half of 2011.

However, Intel also quite understands that the PC market momentum has slowed down. PC makers stated that as a result, Intel’s external and internal strategies have been adjusted. Externally, Ultrabook’s ultra-thin and light-weight plans have been raised, hoping to awaken the wave of replacement of NBs and increase market demand. Returning to the traditional NB products again, further boosting the sales volume of the processors will not allow Apple MacBook Air and other products to continuously erode the PC market.

In addition, always follow! Intel of the Tick-Tock architecture development strategy also considers changes in the traditional peak seasons of Europe, the United States and the mainland. Tablet PCs have significantly affected the existing Sandy Bridge models, and decided to base the forecast on the market in 2011. The next-generation Ivy Bridge processor will be delayed until March 2012. New products will be available in April, allowing Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge 2 generations of processor platforms to have ample time for a smooth transition.

In addition, Intel's assessment of PC demand in the next year may not be as good as it used to, and recently it has also adjusted its own half?曈] Preparatory investment plan: In early 2011, the company invested 500 million U.S. dollars in preparations for technical upgrading at the Fab 24 fab. Although the investment amount has not changed, it is reported that Intel intends to suspend upgrading to the 22nm process plan, and capital expenditures will With some reduction, this may not be good news for wafer and semiconductor manufacturing equipment factories.

According to PC industry players, Intel’s strategy shows that it is quite concerned about the PC market conditions. It not only makes every effort to stimulate PC buying, but also costs various costs internally. The San Francisco IDF, which Intel debuts in September, will explain the future blueprint. Opinions on future market conditions and whether or not they will make further adjustments have attracted the attention of the industry.
