Intel's upcoming Panther Lake processor line, which is scheduled to launch as the Core Ultra 300, is apparently facing significant difficulties. According to several reports, the company's proprietary 18A manufacturing process on which these chips are based currently only delivers a yield of around 10%. This puts the production yield far below what would be required for economical volume production. The 18A process […] Source
According to the user @InstLatX64, known to closely monitor the evolution of the Intel and AMD instructional games, the American founder is about to bring back AVX-512 support to its mainstream processors. This reintegration would start with the next generation Nova Lake, scheduled to succeed Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake. Historically, Intel had disabled the AVX-512 on its Alder Lake and Raptor Lake processors, due to an incompatibility with the E…
Intel 18A Struggling with Poor Yields: Panther Lake Likely Another Low Volume Release?
Intel has been increasingly relying on TSMC for its flagship processors. The entire Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake family was fabbed on TSMC’s cutting-edge 3nm-class nodes. To make matters worse, the last HV chips fabbed by IDM (Raptor Lake) certainly didn’t age well. Intel scrapped its 20A node, citing poor yields, and its successor might turn out the same. Intel’s next flagship manufacturing process, the 18A node, is slated to power the Panther Lak…
Intel's Alleged 18A Chip Manufacturing Struggles Put Panther Lake Launch At Risk
A Reuters report yesterday claims that Intel is struggling with poor yields on its next-generation 18A manufacturing process, and the state of the manufacturing chain is bad enough, allegedly, that it might jeopardize the launch of Panther Lake. The report cites anonymous sources who say yields on 18A wafers are poor, with "only a small percentage"
