18A Process

Intel’s foundry business shows significant promise, a key element of CEO Lip-Bu Tan’s turnaround strategy. Tan highlights its importance as a national asset, aiming to serve external clients and bolster U.S. chip production. Advancements in the 18A manufacturing process and improved yields are attracting customer interest, with commitments anticipated later this year. This progress, coupled with future 14A technology, could position Intel competitively against industry leaders like TSMC.
