Recent reports indicate that Intel is facing significant yield challenges with its 18A node, potentially delaying its mass production timeline. According to the South Korean newspaper Chosun,...

Yields of Intel 18A, Intel Foundry's Leading-Edge Process Node, Are Less than 10%: Report

The yields of Intel 18A, a process technology that Intel had expected to return the company to process leadership in 2025, having been described as being “leading-edge,” is seeing yields as poor as 10%, according to a new report out of South Korea that discusses some of Intel’s latest setbacks, including the leave of Pat Gelsinger. The allegation comes several months after Reuters published a report about how Intel’s manufacturing business had s…

Intel Foundry Fails To Impress Once Again, 18A Process "Yield Rates' Are Reported To Be Only 10% Making Mass-Production Impossible

Intel's 18A process, a node that is said to be a "turning point" for Intel Foundry, is now being said to feature only 10% yield rates, shocking the markets. Intel Foundry Gets Struck With Another "Massive" Problem, Making Division Sell-Off Imminent For Now Team Blue is having a hard time finding a breakthrough in the industry since all its divisions are massively underperforming. In particular, Intel Foundry, a part of the firm's "core strategy"…

Intel Downplays Reports Of 18A Chip Yield Woes Following Broadcom Chip Test

Let's talk about Intel's process woes, folks. Intel basically got where it is now by having the combination of bleeding-edge processor designs and also a world-beating in-house foundry. However, the company stumbled when its first-generation processors on its 14nm process were six months late. Then came troubles with Intel's 10nm node: three

Intel 18A Process Node Clocks an Abysmal 10% Yield: Report

In case you're wondering why Intel went with TSMC 3 nm to built the Compute tile of its "Arrow Lake" processor, and the SoC tile of "Lunar Lake," instead of Intel 3, or even Intel 20A, perhaps there's more to the recent story about Broadcom voicing its disappointment in the Intel 18A foundry node. The September 2024 didn't specify a number to what yields on the Intel 18A node looked like to spook Broadcom, but we now have some idea as to just ho…
