In an April 2023 breakthrough, Intel Foundry Services (IFS) and Arm declared a partnership to optimise Arm's IP for Intel's 18A process technology. The focus, mobile designs, aims to deploy Design Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO) and System Technology Co-Optimization (STCO) to ensure Arm's IP is ready for Intel's impending production node and packaging technology.
Arm and IFS's alliance plan to balance Arm's IP performance, power use, and cost for future designs through DTCO. Key points include developing an Arm-powered mobile System on Chip (SoC) and enabling silicon technology, plus constructing a chip. . .
