Intel: is 35-40% Foundry gross margin ever achievable?

The gross margin of Intel Foundry is in negative territory today and were guided, back in 2024, to reach 35-40% in 2030.

In today’s research we gather all what we know and can estimate about Intel and TSMC’s cost structures at the leading edge. From this baseline, we analyze the drivers of the current gap between the two, and assess how Intel could eventually achieve its goal.

​​​​Is improving scale and process efficiency enough to get to 40% gross margins, despite the structurally higher costs of labor, buildings and logistics in the US?

We will host a conference call to go over this work on 10th April 10am ET. Register HERE
