Intel's 18A Process Promises 25% Speed Boost and Density Gains
Intel's new 18A fabrication process is expected to significantly boost chip density, performance, and reduce power consumption, potentially making it competitive with TSM. Despite positive developments, Intel shares declined slightly, and analysts currently recommend holding the stock, which has experienced a 31% loss over the past year, with a modest upside potential. The company's foundry operations may also become a focus for future restructuring or spinoff discussions.
