Rumors: Could Intel and China Collaborate in the Memory Market?
Intel (INTC) is growing aggressively in the memory market, as memory is a key component in the 5G-connected world. For the first time, Intel has opened its memory business to third-party customers and is now looking for more long-term supply contracts. This fueled several rumors. DRAMeXchange and Nikkei Asian Review, citing industry sources, reported that Intel is in talks with China-based (MCHI) Tsinghua Unigroup subsidiary UNIC Memory Technology over a possible collaboration to develop and produce 3D NAND technologies.
