Fabless companies
Fabless companies design and develop semiconductor chips but do not manufacture them. Instead, they focus on creating the chip's design and then outsource the fabrication process to specialized foundries that produce the physical chips. This model allows fabless companies to concentrate on innovation and design without the huge costs of building and maintaining manufacturing facilities. Examples include companies like NVIDIA and Qualcomm. By partnering with established manufacturing plants, fabless firms can bring advanced chips to market more efficiently, fostering a competitive and flexible semiconductor industry.
