A group of semiconductor firms have opted to extend their partnership to develop high-performance, energy-efficient chips down to the 32 nanometer scale. Led by IBM, the alliance works under the concept of the Common Platform model that lets the group jointly develop semiconductor technology as well as manufacture it for a variety of purposes. IBM and Chartered started the Common Platform joint development and production model in late 2002 with Samsung joining in 2004, followed by Infineon and Freescale Semiconductor.
