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.

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.

The new forecast, a dramatic revision down from earlier estimates, gives the latest accounting of the ongoing memory crunch that is affecting every corner of the electronics industry.

Zimbabwe’s ban on raw lithium exports is forcing Chinese miners to rethink their strategy, speeding up plans to process the metal locally instead of shipping it to China’s vast rechargeable battery industry.
