Intel Foundry has seen a surge in interest from top tech companies for its advanced packaging services. The demand is so high that customers are willing to commit billions of dollars for capacity, showing confidence in Intel’s EMIB and other offerings. Google and Amazon, two major players in the AI space, have reportedly joined the ranks of Intel’s customers. This development comes as TSMC, the current dominant player in advanced packaging, faces significant supply constraints.
TSMC’s limitations are largely due to its lack of diversified production networks, making it difficult for them to meet the demands of upstream customers. In contrast, Intel Foundry has emerged as a rival to CoWoS, with EMIB providing similar technological parity and power to AI architectures. As a result, securing an agreement with Intel could bring significant PR benefits for fabless manufacturers and hyperscalers.
The official timeline for customer commitments is set for H2 2026, but the deal may be announced as early as April 23 during Intel’s earnings call. With this development, Intel’s foundry division is poised to capitalize on the growing demand for advanced packaging services in the tech industry.
