Have you ever noticed what powers your smartphones, laptops, and even the AI you chat with every day? There is a smart logic behind all these advanced gadgets. The chips act as a brain inside an electronic device. Considering this, Intel is trying to catch up to the tech giants such as Apple and Nvidia, so it has advanced its chip technology from 18A to 14A. From the looks of it, Intel is likely trying to compete with TSMC, a company that provides chips to Apple.
However, at the same time, people can get confused; they might think that Intel is only trying to win this race with TSMC and not focusing on quality. In reality, the 14A chips are even faster and more advanced than 18A, which is a plus point that builds trust in the market. Investors are neutral because these chips have not been executed; therefore, the stock hasn’t been affected.
This plan can cost them up to billions and they are still working on it, because 18A was the most demanding chip but with time, the hype faded off. Therefore, they are trying to catch up before it gets too late. Intel’s heading towards a bold step, and it proves that it’s never too late to start something new. However, the results will depend on how they execute their new plan, whether it’s an innovative follow-up or just a rushed effort to get their name on the chart.
Intel Corp CEO Lip? Bu Tan is weighing ending marketing of its 18A process to new foundry clients and refocusing resources on 14A technology.
