Apple to Package Silicon in U.S. with Expanded Amkor Partnership
Move forms part of Apple's $430 billion U.S. investment commitment, with Amkor's new Arizona facility set to employ over 2,000 people.
- Apple has announced an expanded partnership with Amkor to package Apple silicon in the U.S., with Amkor's new facility being developed in Peoria, Arizona.
- Apple will be the first and largest customer of the new Amkor facility, which will package Apple silicon produced at the nearby TSMC fab, where Apple is also the largest customer.
- Amkor will invest approximately $2 billion in the project, and upon completion, it will employ more than 2,000 people.
- This move is part of Apple's commitment made in 2021 to invest $430 billion in the U.S. economy over five years.
- The TSMC factory is expected to produce 4nm chips by 2024, which means M1, M2, A15, and A16 Bionic processors are among the chips Apple might make in US territory.
