  "account": "Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan reportedly conversed with AMD's Lisa Su about potential areas of collaboration during Tan's October 24 fireside chat with the Chinese American Semiconductor Professional Association (CASPA) President Jimmy Cheng. While Tan did not disclose the specifics of their discussions, the conversation adds to the evolving relationship between the two semiconductor rivals as Intel seeks to strengthen its position in the industry. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan emphasized the importance of flexibility and customization in the company's strategy, highlighting the company's Xeon processors as an example of changing approaches. He also revealed plans to expand into application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), co-packaged optics (CPO), physical AI, and advanced packaging, aiming for these divisions to contribute around 10% of Intel's revenue each. Intel's foundry business is another key focus, with the company's 18A manufacturing process reaching volume production and development of the next-generation 14A process progressing strongly. However, Intel has not disclosed the identities of potential customers or the scale of any manufacturing orders. The relationship between Intel and AMD has already seen some cooperation, including the establishment of the x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group in October 2024. Recently, AMD integrated Intel's ZenDNN optimizations into Intel's open-source oneDNN library, further illustrating their shared efforts while maintaining competition for customers.",
