Intel Capital has recently purchased over 5% in shares of the Taiwanese heatsink manufacturer Neng Tyi, according to an announcement from Neng Tyi.
The share acquisition is considered a sign that Intel Capital sees the technology market in the Asia-Pacific region as having growth potential, and will expand technology investment in Taiwan.
This year, Intel is investing in tech companies in Taiwan that focus on energy and power consumption in IC design, such as Richtek and System General Corporation, as the high-tech giant seeks to reduce power consumption in its processors to achieve longer battery life in notebook computers.
One reason for Intel's investment is that Neng Tyi has received patents for its notebook computer heatsinks, according to sources at Neng Tyi.
A holder of over 40 technology patents, Neng Tyi main sources of revenue are heatsinks for notebook and desktop computers, key components for heatsinks in notebook computers, and DDR heatsinks for DRAM modules.
The heatsink determines the stability of a notebook computer and serves as a key technology for notebook components.
Neng Tyi holds a 70% share of the heatsink market, and is currently developing compatible heatsinks for Intel and AMD.
