As long as everything goes according to plan or even faster
Intel, which has returned to profit , said all of its products are either on schedule or ahead of schedule.
In particular, Arrow Lake processors, which are expected next year, are already going through the production phase. Also, Intel still expects to realize its rather ambitious plan to implement five technological nodes in five years.
I am pleased to report that all of our programs are on or ahead of schedule. We remain on track to five nodes in five years and regain leadership in transistor performance and power by 2025.
Intel says it is successfully moving towards a very ambitious goal
Intel 7 is complete and Meteor Lake will launch in the second half of the year. Intel 4, our first EUV node, is nearly complete with performance increases. For the remaining three nodes, I would note that in the second quarter, Intel 3 hit its defect density and performance benchmarks, we hit PVK 1.1, and are on track for overall product yields and performance targets. We will launch Sierra Forest in the first half of 24, followed soon after by Granite Rapids, our flagship platform for Intel 3.
On the Intel 20A, our first technology node to use both RibbonFET and PowerVia, the Arrow Lake processor is currently making its first step in the build. In the second quarter, we announced that we would be the first to introduce the power backfeed chip more than two years ahead of the industry, saving power, making efficient use of space, and boosting performance for growing computing needs, ideal for these use cases, like AI, CPU, and graphics. In addition, this solution simplifies the design, which is an important advantage not only for our own product, but also for our foundry customers.
On the Intel 18A, we continue to use internal and external chips, and we remain committed to being ready for production by the second half of 2024.
Thus, despite the fact that earlier Intel had multiple delays with new products on new technical processes, so far the company, according to its statement, is successfully advancing in the development of five new technical processes at once.
