IFS Reborn as Intel Foundry: Expanded Foundry Business Adds 14A Process To Roadmap
h on February 21, 2024 11:30 AM EST 5 nodes in 4 years. This is what Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger promised Intel’s customers, investors, and the world at large back in 2021, when he laid out Intel’s ambitious plan to regain leadership in the foundry space.
Just what it will deliver in terms of feature sizes and performance remains to be seen – with risk production set for the end of 2026, it’s still a few years out – but if all goes according to plan for Intel, it will be where they further cement their place as the leader in fab process technology. With its combination of feature size, RibbonFET transistors, and PowerVia backside power delivery, Intel has previously stated that they expect to regain process leadership with 18A. Ultimately, the financial success of Intel Foundry hinges not only on developing new nodes, but signing up customers as well in order to get the necessary volume needed to make all of these major investments pencil out.
