Intel's foundry division strategy is shifting from the 18A technology to the 14A approach, aiming to gain an edge over TSMC. CEO Lip-Bu Tan's decision arises from a belief that 18A struggles to attract new customers. The company faces significant financial challenges, having reported an $18.8 billion loss last year. While Intel will discontinue marketing 18A to new customers, it will honor existing commitments to Amazon and Microsoft and continue using 18A for internal chip production up to 2025. A final decision on this strategy is expected soon.
Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan is considering shifting the foundry division's strategy to focus entirely on the newer 14A technology, moving away from the 18A approach.
The potential shift would mean Intel saying goodbye to billions in investments in 18A development, requiring a significant write-off.
