Intel manufacturing business suffers setback as Broadcom tests disappoint

https://www.reuters.com/technology/intel-manufacturing-business-suffers-setback-broadcom-tests-disappoint-sources-2024-09-04/

The tests conducted by Broadcom involved sending silicon wafers - the foot-wide discs on which chips are printed - through Intel's most advanced manufacturing process known as 18A, the sources said. Broadcom received the wafers back from Intel last month. After its engineers and executives studied the results, the company concluded the manufacturing process is not yet viable to move to high-volume production.

Once Intel proves they can manufacture their own chips with 18A, external customers will come.

You can't trust anything from Broadcom. They're always looking to acquire companies, so it's in their interest to devalue every company.

"Intel CEO admits 'I've bet the whole company on 18A'"

How's that bet looking now? What a PATastrophe!

It is supposed to be HVM ready by next year. I am assuming there will be issues to iron out until it is ready for ramp.

Nobody external will want to do business with Intel Foundry until 18A HVM is proven.

Panther Lake and Clearwater Forest will be the pilot drivers for 18A HVM to iron out it's kinks.

Intel Product will have to foot the cost for iteration, rather than using customer funding to do so.

Wonder who leaked this? Someone at Bcom who doesn't like Intel?

Hmm...If it's in customer testing, does it mean Intel 18A is really in place and dealing with something serious even the schedule is ahead of competitors? Lol

They must be wrong, Pat said 18A is ahead of schedule, and Intel CEOs always tell the truth.

Defect density is just way too much. It’s like holes in the sinking ship.
