See how the Intel 18A semiconductor manufacturing process is the foundation of the systems foundry for the AI era.

Intel claims 18A is ready for production in 2025H2:

Intel 18A is now ready for customer projects with the tape outs beginning in the first half of 2025.

      From my perspective the key point is that Intel claims 18A is at long last ready for production (in 2025H2). The other stuff is all pretty tedious PR

        Importantly from what I’ve read outside sources such as Ian Cutress are also pretty positive about the node, so it’s not just this press release in a vacuum. I guess we will find out soon enough how it turns out.

        I think regardless of how shitty Intel as a company is/was and the general issues with the USA right now, as a consumer we should hope for it to turn out well. Leading edge manufacturing is one of the hardest industries to enter and there are only 3 companies left in the race. Competition is vital for a healthy market, so any loss there will ultimately hurt consumers more than some of the other issues.
