BARCELONA, Spain — Intel is launching a supply chain assurance program in the second half of this year to address growing demand for more transparency in the chipmaking process for customers in government and highly regulated industries.
The program will cover a selection of chip plants in five locations — the U.S., Ireland, Taiwan, Vietnam and Malaysia — but not production facilities in Israel or chip assembly and testing plants in China and Costa Rica. Intel did not elaborate on why these five locations were considered more secure than others.
