世界上最大的芯片制造商因特尔考虑外包制造,关键的技术专长正在向海外转移,转移到台积电身上。这预示着该公司和美国制造业,在半导体行业占据主导地位的时代终结了。此举的影响可能远远超出硅谷,将会影响全球贸易和地域性政治。在过去30年里,因特尔总部位于加州圣克拉拉(CA Santa Barbara),一直是全球最大的芯片制造商。它将最优秀的设计与最尖端的工厂相结合,其几家工厂目前仍位于美国。
其他大多数的美国芯片公司,数年前就关闭或出售了美国境内的工厂,并让其他公司来生产零部件,大部分在亚洲。英特尔坚持了下来,辩称同时兼顾两件事(研发与生产),可以共同提高两个部门的运营水平,并创造更好的半导体。现在,随着公司对最新的7纳米生产工艺芯片的再次推迟,这一战略已经支离破碎。在英特尔首席执行长斯旺(Bob Swan)说英特尔正在考虑外包业务后,该公司股价上周五暴跌16%,为今年3月以来的最大跌幅。
World’s largest chipmaker considers outsourcing manufacturing. Crucial technology expertise is shifting overseas, to TSMC. Intel Corp.’s decision to consider outsourcing manufacturing heralds the end of an era in which the company, and the U.S., dominated the semiconductor industry. The move could reverberate well beyond Silicon Valley, influencing global trade and geopolitics. The Santa Clara, California-based company has been the largest chipmaker for most of the past 30 years by combining the best designs with cutting-edge factories, several of which are still based in the U.S. Most other U.S. chip companies shut or sold domestic plants years ago, and had other firms make the components, mostly in Asia. Intel held out, arguing that doing both improved each side of its operation and created better semiconductors. That strategy is in tatters now, with the company’s factories struggling to keep up with the latest 7-nanometer production process. After Chief Executive Officer Bob Swan said Intel is considering outsourcing, the company’s shares slumped 16% on Friday, the most since March, when the stock market plummeted in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. source
