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.
