Intel‑Fortinet security processor partnership

Entities: Fortinet Inc. · Intel Corporation · Security Processor 6 (SP6) · Ken Xie · Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.

Overview

Intel and Fortinet announced a strategic collaboration to design, package and manufacture Fortinet’s next‑generation security processor, the SP6, for FortiGate firewalls. The first announcement highlighted that the chip will be produced on Intel’s 4‑nanometre process – the first time Intel is using this node for an external customer and its first named foundry client since a leadership change – and described the SP6 as a chiplet‑based design expanding Fortinet’s custom silicon portfolio.

A week later the partners emphasized how Intel’s advanced semiconductor expertise and manufacturing capacity will accelerate SP6 development, boost performance for high‑end cybersecurity services and help diversify the global semiconductor supply chain. Executives from both firms cited faster time‑to‑market and improved supply‑chain resilience as key benefits of the joint effort.
