Renesas seems to be bucking the trend of IDMs relying more and more on foundries for advanced process technology development.
Renesas believes in working (on its own or in collaboration) on advanced process development. With plans to increase sales in system-on-chip solutions and microcontrollers, it may make sense to keep the advanced process development in-house in order to have more control and direction for their major product offerings.
This, however, will not prevent it from outsourcing for volume production on advanced devices

So now we have three basic types of economies :
--> The Fab-lites who outsource the complete manufacturing process
--> The Renesas-types who still believe in home-grown chips ( and reply on outsourceing only for bulk-orders)
--> and the likes of TI, who will take distribute its manufacturing processes in-house and to 3rd-party manufacturers.
I think the Semicon industry is maturing beautifully.
