Intel this year will focus on what it does best: Crank out chips and expand factory capacity.
The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chipmaker will produce new families of chips for desktops, notebooks and cell phones this year, CEO Craig Barrett said in a speech at this week's Intel Developer Forum in San Jose.
Additionally, the company will continue to invest in fabrication plants, the billion-dollar factories that pump out millions of chips. On Tuesday, Intel announced it will convert Fab 12 in Chandler, Ariz., from processing wafers with 200-millimeter diameters to a facility that can process 300-millimeter wafers.
