All these industries have blossomed and seen the the burst of creativity once disintegrated. The investments required to stay competitive have different dynamics.ĭisintegrations of the computer industry, the telecom industry and the automobile industries are very good examples. The technologies move at a different pace in the two spaces. Chip companies need to find the best fabs to manufacture their chips and not be limited by the inhouse capabilities. Outsourcing of non core functions has been a way of focusing and excelling in your core activity.įabs need to advance their capabilities and utilize the capacity more fully by serving all comers. Mushing together two disparate businesses, with different economics and need for different talent is not good for either of them. The days of "The Real Chip Company's Have Fabs", a quip by AMD's Jerry Sanders have been behind us for almost 40 years. There has not been a new Semiconductor company with integrated capabilities formed ever since. It was the basis of the formation of Cirrus Logic and TSMC.

Suhas Patil's research at University of Utah in early eighties lead to the separations of IP of the Chip and its manufacturing. Chip industry started to disintegrate a very long time ago. Intel should go whole hog and split into two different companies. This agreement marks a significant milestone in NuScale and KGHM’s partnership history, making KGHM and Poland leaders in the race to rapidly decrease emissions worldwide, said John Hopkins, NuScale Power President and Chief. This is a belated but a very good first step. NuScale Power and KGHM Sign Task Order to Initiate the Deployment of First Small Modular Reactor in Poland.
