Intel and Fortinet agree to co-develop Fortinet's SP6 security processor

Intel and Fortinet announced a strategic partnership to help develop Fortinet's Security Processor 6 (SP6), combining Fortinet's chip design know-how with Intel's design, packaging and manufacturing capabilities. The companies also plan to make Fortinet's worldwide chip sourcing more diversified and to explore wider cooperation in chip technology and production. The release gives no process node, volumes or contract value, so the revenue effect for Intel Foundry cannot be measured yet.
