Intel's new CEO, Pat Gelsinger, isn't wasting any time in ramping up the
company's engineering capabilities. In a press conference today, he announced
the company's "IDM 2.0" strategy, which kicks off with a $20 billion
investment in two Arizona fabrication plants. That'll make Intel a stronger
force in the chipmaking business, both when it comes to making its own
hardware, as well as chips for partners. Additionally, Gelsinger revealed
that the company's first 7nm chip, the long-delayed Meteor Lake, will have
its design finalized in the second quarter of this year. We won't see that
CPU ship until 2023, however, a year later than the company previously
suggested.
“Intel is the only company with the depth and breadth of software, silicon
and platforms, packaging, and process with at-scale manufacturing customers
can depend on for their next-generation innovations," Gelsinger said in a
blog post. "IDM 2.0 is an elegant strategy that only Intel can deliver – and
it’s a winning formula.”
Gelsinger kicked off his presentation by acknowledging Intel's struggles with
producing 7nm chips, something he attributed to delays that began with its
10nm architecture shift. Moving forward, he says Intel plans to use extreme
ultraviolet lithography (EUV) in a redesigned production process. But while
the company is investing more in its own fabrication plants, it'll still need
some help from third-party foundries to build its 7nm chips, Meteor Lake and
Granite Rapids for datacenters. Think of it like a stopgap solution: Intel
can't push production too much until its new facilities are ready, so it's
enlisting a bit of help.
As part of its push to be more of a fabrication giant, the company is
launching a new segment called Intel Foundry Services. Gelsinger mentioned
that Intel is currently working with partners, including Amazon, Cisco, IBM,
and Microsoft. But he pushed a bit further during a Q&A session with press,
saying that he's even pursuing Apple's business. Naturally, there's plenty of
skepticism about Intel's bold ambition. When asked how Intel plans to balance
commitments to partners, even though it's had trouble making its own
production commitments, Gelsinger noted that IFS will be run as its own
business unit, and that Intel is aiming to honor its promises to partners.
"Intel is back," Gelsinger said. "The old Intel is now the new Intel as we
look forward to the future."

英特尔新任首席执行官派特-格尔辛格（Pat Gelsinger）并没有浪费时间来提升公司的工
程能力。在今天的新闻发布会上，他宣布了公司的 "IDM 2.0 "战略，该战略以投资200亿
美元在亚利桑那州的两家制造工厂为开端。这将使英特尔在芯片制造业务中成为更强大的
力量，无论是在制造自己的硬件时，还是在为合作伙伴制造芯片时。此外，Gelsinger还
透露，该公司的首款7nm芯片，也就是拖延已久的Meteor Lake，将在今年第二季度完成设
计。不过，我们要到2023年才能看到该CPU的出货，比该公司此前建议的时间晚了一年。
"英特尔是唯一一家在软件、硅和平台、封装和工艺与规模制造方面具有深度和广度的公
司，客户的下一代创新可以依赖，"Gelsinger在一篇博客文章中说。"IDM 2.0是一个优雅
的战略，只有英特尔能够提供
