Being significantly behind TSMC in terms of foundry market share, for Intel Foundry, it makes sense to focus on competing against a smaller rival, Samsung Foundry. To that end, the company is trying to attract customers who currently rely on production at Samsung Foundry. This week, Intel held its Direct Connect Asia event in Seoul, Korea, trying to connect with potential customers from the region, reports The Bell (via Jukan Choi).
Intel Foundry's Direct Connect is an event that is similar to TSMC's Technology Symposium and Samsung's Foundry Forum, designed to reveal information about the latest and upcoming process technologies. The Direct Connect Asia in Seoul was the first time the event has been held outside the U.S., which highlights Intel's interest in attracting customers outside of the U.S., but emphasizes that the company pays particular attention to South Korea-based companies that have traditionally relied on Samsung Foundry.
