"Customized chips will be in vogue beyond 2025": Intel could move away from 
regular CPU releases in a frantic bid to serve customers better and catch up 
with rivals  but will it be enough?

Description:
Intel plans to focus on future technologies, such as AI and chiplets, and 
release chips when ready.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

At last years Meteor Lake chip launch in New York, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger 
hinted at the company's future direction, noting the company is on track to 
integrate five new nodes in four years, culminating in 2025. This includes 
the Intel 7, Intel 4, Intel 3, Intel 20A, and Intel 18A processes, used in a 
range of server processors. 

However, going forward Intel hinted that its traditional release schedule may 
be discarded in favor of shipping products when ready in order to allow the 
company to catch up with rivals. 

Intel says this will help its aim to offer customers more options by selling 
multiple generations of chips simultaneously, while serving the demand for 
customized products. Chiplets with everything 

The tech giant is focused on integrating emerging technologies, such as 
artificial intelligence, and chiplets (which the company can put in a single 
package). Intel's chiplet technologies could erase the distinction between 
server and client products, allowing the company to assemble chips based on 
customer needs. This could enable Intel to rapidly produce custom chips for 
specific industries. 

As you go to chiplets, youre not doing as large a die, and you have smaller 
die. In fact, when we go to 18A, a finish of our five nodes in four years, 
were almost concurrently tapping out the client and server parts. Thats 
something weve never done before, Gelsinger said, according to HPCwire . 

We look at the Core Ultra packaging  were innovating on Foveros packaging [a 
wafer-level 3D stacking solution that delivers greater performance in a 
smaller footprint] but were going to be using that on the next generation 
server part in this chiplet architecture, there are so many ways to blur the 
lines between many of our designs, Gelsinger concluded. 

Intel stands out as the only fully integrated chip company, offering chips or 
manufacturing services to firms designing their own processors. This dual 
strategy could ensure Intel's survival, because while rivals Nvidia, ARM, 
AMD, Qualcomm, and Apple vie for market share, the company gets to 
manufacture their products. More from TechRadar Pro Intel bets on a secret
