Intel is reportedly to increase orders of SiS671 and SiS672 chipsets from Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) in the third quarter of 2007. The increase is expected to benefit Taiwan-based wafer maker United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) plus packaging and testing houses Siliconware Precision Industry (SPIL) and King Yuan Electronics Company (KYEC), according to a Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) report.
SiS’s quarterly revenues and chipset shipments are expected to increase 30-50%, while SPIL and KYEC are expected to see a 10% on-quarter growth in revenues in the third quarter. Also UMC is expected to have the utilization rate boosted at its 12-inch wafer fab, noted the paper citing sources at foreign investors.
