A Tie-Up Between Intel and TSMC Fizzles

According to the New York Times, Intel has confirmed that its recent deal with TSMC has been put on hiatus due to lack of customer demand. On a positive note, the rumor mill says that Intel will make an Atom announcement later today.

There will be no jointly developed Atoms arriving anytime soon, although Intel continues to hope for the best down the road. "I think we had a lot of key learnings from the partnership so far," Robert Crooke, Intel’s Atom chief, said in an interview. "We haven’t given up. These things never happen superfast."
