This combination of focused internal labs plus the blend of internal and external research embodies Intel’s philosophy toward R&D. Sun-Lin Chou, the director of Intel’s Components Research Laboratory, explained how his lab functioned in this philosophy: “The primary role of the Labs is to link Intel with the outside research community. We need to do enough internal work to be knowledgeable enough to talk with outside researchers, and to know which approaches seem most promising. We also need enough internal work to be able to transfer promising research results back inside Intel quickly.”14 In 2001, Intel expanded this model to bring itself even closer to selected university research centers. It has opened up new “lablets”—small-sized research facilities—which
are located adjacent to three leading university research centers—Carnegie Mellon University, University of California–Berkeley, and University of Washington—instead of next to Intel fab facilities. As with other parts of its R&D system, Intel will manage these new entities in a
decidedly nontraditional manner. Each lablet is led by a university faculty member who is on an academic leave and is not a permanent employee of Intel. Intel hopes and expects these new entities to connect it more closely to leading academic research, but Intel does not expect to
“own” the output of this research. The company instead expects to win by having early access to promising new technologies.
