Dubbed "IDM 2.0", the plan comprises three key elements. Firstly, a reaffirmation of Intel's commitment to their existing, internal manufacturing operations. Secondly, an increased reliance on leading edge, external foundry capacity. Thirdly, the decision to re-enter the foundry business and become a leading supplier of U.S. and Europe-based capacity. Underpinning these three initiatives is a commitment to invest $20 billion in the construction of two new fabs in Phoenix, Arizona.
