Intel Aims To Boost Processor Speeds With New Glass Substrate Technology

SiliconANGLE , Monday, September 18,2023

Intel Corp. will build glass into its most advanced processors to make them faster and more power-efficient.

The chipmaker detailed the plan today ahead of its annual Intel Innovation event, which is dedicated to new semiconductor technologies. At the center of the development effort is a component known as a glass substrate. The component, which took more than 10 years and $1 billion to develop, is expected to start shipping with Intel chips in the second half of this decade.

'After a decade of research, Intel has achieved industry-leading glass substrates for advanced packaging,' said Intel Senior Vice President Babak Sabi. 'We look forward to delivering these cutting-edge technologies that will benefit our key players and foundry customers for decades to come.'
