Intel Foundry's 18A Process Reportedly Generates Much Praise from ASIC Customers

[T0@st]

As revealed during a recent Q1 earnings call, Intel leadership mentioned that "external clients are getting their ASICs designs tested." The company's foundry business is working towards the finalization of its much discussed 18A node process, with alleged trial samples receiving an "impressive performance rating." According to Ctee Taiwan, Team Blue's foundry service has submitted test subjects to the likes of NVIDIA, Broadcom and Faraday Technology. The latter organization has (reportedly) disclosed that the 18A platform tape-out was completed last October—since then, received samples have been "successfully connected." Industry moles believe that NVIDIA and Broadcom are in the middle of conducting manufacturing tests. Additional whispers suggest the delivery of 18A prototypes chez IBM and several other unnamed partner companies. Insiders have indicated impressive/good "verification results." Contrary to reports from other sources, Ctee has picked up on insider chatter about Intel's next-gen Nova Lake compute tile design being "not entirely outsourced." Further conjecture points to Team Blue becoming increasingly confident in its own manufacturing techniques.

I liked it more when I tech press was credible and I could just read stuff without being in doubt

Yeah that's how it is now. Money over everything. Blast everything China does as gospel when 90 percent of it is b.s.

Well if Intel is going to use its own node, then I’m gonna believe.

Very promising to see 18A get high approval from Ctee Taiwan.

When in the future does this occur? Because it never has been, sadly. And as far as rumor goes this piece at least has hints of credibility.

TSMC is far from BS, though not exactly China either. Chinas native nodes ARE mostly laughed at right now.

Bringing old news/rumors aren't giving any good benefits for people believed about liars. Also TSMC was originated from Taiwan, and it's making great chips for most electronics like Apple, AMD, Nvidia etc. Hating Intel isn't the truth, it's kind of idiot rage.

I'm honestly not sure what you are trying to say, sorry.

Don't mean this offensively, I think it just got lost in translation.
