Intel splits its struggling foundry division into an independent subsidiary

[Burty117]

Sometime in 2025 I said. Same did Intel. We are in 2024.

Clearwater Forest is going to be 18A.

Yeah I am an Intel fanboy, with 6 AMD chips and 2 Intel chips in house. Haha.

Intel said they were "set to begin manufacturing 18A in the latter half of 2024".
The latest from Intel (september) is, I'll quote, "we remain on track for launch in 2025".

Then there's reality:

Intel 18A node reportedly stuck at 10% yields, SRAM density also trails TSMC upcoming 2nm tech

Recent reports indicate that Intel is facing significant yield challenges with its 18A node, potentially delaying its mass production timeline. According to the South Korean newspaper Chosun,...

10% yield is absolutely abysmal, that's not something they'll suddenly fix in the next 6 months. That makes it impossible for the semiconductor to reach mass-production stages.

Again, if you believe everything Intel has said, 18A is already here and AMD is in the rear-view mirror, Reality is very different.

Intel 18A Yields Are Actually Okay, And The Math Checks Out

A few days ago, we published a report about Intel's 18A yields being at an abysmal 10%. This sparked quite a lot of discussion among the tech community, as well as responses from industry analysts and Intel's now ex-CEO Pat Gelsinger. Today, we are diving into known information about Intel's 18A...
