NVIDIA, Broadcom, Faraday & Many ASIC Clients Are In Pursuit Of Intel's 18A Process; Chip Sampling Shows Impressive Results

Intel Foundry's 18A Process Reportedly Generates Much Praise from ASIC Customers

As revealed during a recent Q1 earnings call, Intel leadership mentioned that "external clients are getting their ASICs designs tested." The company's foundry business is working towards the finalization of its much discussed 18A node process, with alleged trial samples receiving an "impressive performance rating." According to Ctee Taiwan, Team Blue's foundry service has submitted test subjects to the likes of NVIDIA, Broadcom and Faraday Techn…

According to the latest reports, the main stakeholders in using Intel’s manufacturing process, 18A, have been optimistic after the first results. A few weeks ago it was indicated that NVIDIA and Broadcom were among the first companies to start testing the Intel 18A manufacturing process. Now we know only that this list has been expanded with other companies such as Faraday Technology (a split of Taiwanese UMC foundry) or IBM. But the first tests…

Intel reports progress with its proprietary 18A process. According to Taiwanese industry sources, the early implementation of the so-called Backside Power Delivery (BSPDN) appears to be paying off. While TSMC isn't planning to launch its A16 process with comparable technology until the end of 2026, Intel is apparently already testing functional samples with several partners. ASIC suppliers such as eMemory (智原) in particular have […] Source
