According to Financial Times IBM Corporation addressed to the bank Goldman Sachs to search for potential buyers to your полупроводниковый business.
At IBM has not made a final decision in connection with the sale and can transform the semiconductor business into a joint venture with someone.
Sources at IBM say that the corporation has long and consistently gets rid of the "commodity" business, selling hardware direction one after the other. However, according to them, the server business is still important for the company and even in the future, IBM has no plans to leave the issue of servers as such.
Part of the sale of semiconductor business due to the fact that IBM is facing stiff competition in the production of chips. And the launch of its own production plants to produce chips with new technological standards alone is too expensive even for IBM.
New process technologies for the production of chips, IBM has long been developed in collaboration with other companies, and in particular with AMD, which is then allocated its semiconductor manufacturing in a separate contract company GlobalFoundries - see .: «IBM - old new AMD partner in the development of technical processes" < / a>.
What's interesting is that IBM has a few years she created an alliance led by chipmakers Common Platform , which brings together all the major competitors in Intel : IBM, Samsung, GlobalFoundries, and recently more and UMC - see .: «UMC will develop 10-nanometer process technology with IBM ».
Recent years in this market its position considerably strengthened Asian contract manufacturers such as TSMC and Samsung , who are engaged on orders release of processors, memory chips and other microelectronics. And they still manage to maintain good margins in a low-income area as the production of chips.
IBM recently intensified in the marketing of their POWER -chipy - see .: « IBM gained the support of Google, NVIDIA and others for a confrontation with Intel », and still see .: « IBM licensed processors Power ».
In general, experts agree that even if IBM and get rid of the semiconductor areas, the company will not give up the design of modern chip architecture POWER a > who work in its high-margin hardware solutions, such as supercomputer IBM Watson .
