Intel has announced a new partnership with Arm to create low-power chips through Intel Foundry Services.
The collaboration will first focus on mobile SoC designs, but could expand to automotive, aerospace, government, and other applications.
Intel wants to surpass Samsung as the second-largest foundry by revenue.

In the near future, it’s possible that your next phone could be running on a chip made by Intel and Arm. The two have joined forces to work on low-power compute system-on-chips (SoC).

Today, Intel published an announcement revealing that Intel Foundry Services (IFS) has partnered with Arm to build low-power compute SoCs on the Intel 18A process. The Intel 18A process is a plan to introduce five increasingly advanced semiconductor manufacturing process technologies in five years. Developing chips using this process will have plants in both the US and EU manufacturing chips.
