At the Intel Vision 2025 event held in Las Vegas, USA,Intel's new CEO Lip-Mo ChenReiterate18A process technologyThe company highlighted the progress of its process technology, emphasizing that it will enter mass production in the second half of this year and will be first used in laptop processors code-named "Panther Lake." It also stated that it has begun advancing the next 14A process node, and emphasized that it will embrace new developments by embracing software-first thinking, artificial intelligence-driven system design, and purpose-driven silicon technology development.
Although he has only been with Intel for about 14 days, he has a sufficient understanding of Intel's current situation because he served as a member of Intel's board of directors in the past and was authorized to help oversee Intel's manufacturing operations. He also pointed out that regaining customer trust will become Intel's current development focus.
Meanwhile, while emphasizing the smooth progress of 18A process technology, with mass production expected in the second half of this year and initially intended for use in laptop processors codenamed "Panther Lake," Chen Lip-wu also stated that the company will secure two to three key customers for its foundry business and continue to improve yield rates.
Chen Lip-wu also stated that Intel will transform into a company with a software-first mindset, adopting an artificial intelligence-driven system design and purpose-oriented silicon technology development strategy. He also explained that Intel will focus more on its core business and split off non-core businesses to better concentrate development resources.
However, Chen Liwu did not further explain which core businesses would be split up, but judging from recent market developments, Intel's original wafer foundry business may develop further independently.
Chen Lip-wu also emphasized that the best products will always win market advantages, which means that Intel's upcoming new laptop processor code-named "Panther Lake" and the new processor code-named "Nova Lake" for desktops and laptops expected to be launched early next year will be able to make a comeback in the market.
