Intel Foundry and Arm Announce Multigeneration Collaboration on Leading-Edge SoC Design
"SANTA CLARA, Calif., and CAMBRIDGE, U.K., April 12, 2023 – Intel Foundry Services
(IFS
) and Arm today announced a multigeneration agreement to enable chip designers to build low-power compute system-on-chips
(SoCs
) on the Intel 18A process. "
"As part of its IDM 2.0 strategy, Intel is investing in leading-edge manufacturing capacity around the world, including significant expansions in the U.S. and the EU, to serve sustained long-term demand for chips. This collaboration will enable a more balanced global supply chain for foundry customers working in mobile SoC design on Arm-based CPU cores."
"IFS and Arm will develop a mobile reference design, allowing demonstration of the software and system knowledge for foundry customers. "

Very interesting as Intel sold PXA / XScale tech to Marvell long time ago, and reviving ARM interest.
