Fortinet does bring real volume, though, if not marquee volume. IDC ranked Fortinet first in firewall appliances shipped as of early 2023, with a 48% unit share. The company ships its own ASICs across its entry-level and high-end FortiGate ranges, and SP6 extends a silicon program now in its sixth generation.
Neither company committed to work beyond SP6, though the release described the agreement as a starting point, with further collaboration on chip technology and manufacturing under discussion.

thestryker Intel 4, the EUV process the company has so far used only for its own products The first volume product on Intel 4 was a processor for Ericsson so this certainly isn't the first external customer. This processor was at least partially designed by Intel which could also explain the use of Intel 4 here with Fortinet. It's still somewhat surprising, but I imagine Intel is still going to be making MTL for a bit which may explain why it's not Intel 3. Reply
