Following a constructive meeting with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim&nbsp;on&nbsp;December 2, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger (Chen Liwu) announced a fresh <strong>$208 million (RM860 million)<\/strong>&nbsp;commitment to Malaysia. This significant sum will fuel the expansion of Intel\u2019s assembly and test hubs in <strong>Penang and Kulim<\/strong>&nbsp;through 2026.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn&#8217;t just about dollars; it\u2019s about making Malaysia the <strong>heart of Intel\u2019s global packaging operations<\/strong>. The government is wholeheartedly backing this mission, offering tax breaks and special visas to help Malaysia capture an <strong>8% slice<\/strong>&nbsp;of the global chip backend market by 2030.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The world needs AI chips, and the current supply chain is stretched. Intel is stepping up with cutting-edge packaging technologies like <strong>EMIB<\/strong>&nbsp;(known for its cost efficiency) and <strong>Foveros<\/strong>&nbsp;3D. They are even opening their doors, ensuring these advanced services work seamlessly with wafers from <strong>any foundry<\/strong>.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a landmark move showing commitment to global partnerships, Intel also recently teamed up with <strong>Amkor in South Korea<\/strong>&nbsp;to scale up its AI packaging capacity.
