Chuang was previously in charge of managing Intel’s ties with leading Taiwanese PC brand Asustek Computer Inc (華碩), which included helping Asustek strengthen its global businesses, the company said.
Since joining Intel Taiwan’s marketing and sales team in July 2003, she has worked with the company’s original design manufacturing and original equipment manufacturing partners to introduce new product designs for Japan and Asia Pacific markets, the company said.
Hans Chuang (莊秉翰), vice president of Intel’s sales, marketing and communications group for Asia Pacific and Japan, said Taiwan plays a critical role in the global semiconductor and information and communications technology sectors, and has become indispensable as a strategic partner in the artificial intelligence ecosystem.
Last week, sources said Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan (陳立武) is to visit Taiwan and meet with Taiwanese suppliers in the middle of next month in conjunction with the opening of Computex Taipei trade show, which is to begin on May 20.
The sources said Tan’s visit would be aimed at strengthening Intel’s ties with suppliers in Taiwan, as he attempts to help the struggling US chipmaker turn itself around.

Nanya Technology Corp (南亞科技) yesterday said the DRAM supply crunch could extend through 2028, as the artificial intelligence (AI) boom has led the world’s major memory makers to dramatically reduce production of standard DRAM and allocate a significant portion of their capacity for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips. The most severe supply constraints would stretch to the first half of next year due to “very limited” increases in new DRAM capacity worldwide, Nanya Technology president Lee Pei-ing (李培瑛) told a news briefing. The company plans to increase monthly 12-inch wafer capacity to 20,000 in the first half of 2028 after a
Property transactions in the nation’s six special municipalities plunged last month, as a lengthy Lunar New Year holiday combined with ongoing credit tightening dampened housing market activity, data compiled by local land administration offices released on Monday showed.
