Yesterday intel announced new names for its future manufacturing processes.
The naming should be clearer, and the smaller nodes will be defined under the Ångström unit.
Intel has also emerged as the first buyer of ASML's High-NA machines for extreme ultraviolet.

With this, ASML wants to make 3nm nodes possible. High-na is synonymous with 0.55na litho patterning, which allows fabrication of 3nm nodes using euv.
For smaller nodes, the use of euv is becoming increasingly important, with high-na the number of euv processed layers on the wafer can be increased.
This reduces the power consumption of the lithography machine and the production costs. Intel declares to be the first company to use high-na.

Intel wants to be the market leader again, instead of a follower. A presentation from ASML shows that in June of 2019 there were already three customers for the machines,
with a total of twelve systems. Intel was the first of these, but it is not known which two other companies are involved.
