A chip designer that also owns its factories
Intel Corporation designs and supplies the computing chips inside personal computers, servers, and cloud and artificial-intelligence systems — processors, networking parts, and custom chips. Its customers are the companies that build finished computers, firms that design and make products for other brands, and cloud providers, reached through its own representatives and through distributors, resellers, and retailers. Unusually, Intel also runs its own factories, while many chip designers pay outside plants to manufacture for them. That factory arm, Intel Foundry, makes chips for Intel and is meant to make chips for outside companies too. Today the money comes from products, not from manufacturing for others.
