18A is approaching commercial production
Intel Engineering Managers Pancaj Marria, LinkedIn, but later on sharing, “Intel 18a is an exciting milestone! Our team took an important step in the progression of the latest technology semiconductor production by taking part in the forefront of the first party production in Arizona. Kul

Intel will produce nuclear chips of Panther Lake processors, which are expected to be released late this year, with 18A technology. In addition, the Xeon 7 Clearwater Forest processors for data centers will also benefit from this production process. The 18A technology has Gate-al-Around (GAA) Ribbonfet transistors and rear-side power distribution, which Intel has long been working on. These developments aim to improve the performance of processors and to reduce power consumption.
