Intel aims to be at the forefront of semiconductor smelting by 2025, regaining market share in a market it dominated before the sharp growth of TSMC and Samsung. For this, the American manufacturer must invest in the rapid advancement of its future technologies, and one of the bets should be the “Intel 18A” lithography.
Pat Gelsinger, chief executive of the largest maker of processors for desktops and notebooks in the world, said last Thursday (31) that Intel is on track to achieve its ambitious goals in semiconductor foundry, although its future products must still use lithographs adopted in 2021.
One of the manufacturer’s great expectations is to introduce five lithographs in four years. This goal, established by Gelsinger when he took over as CEO in 2021, is happening “as expected”, according to the executive, and will achieve the goal of regaining leadership in the semiconductor foundry market in 2025, when the Intel 18A lithography debuts. .
We have been in this transformation for two and a half years. It happened the way I had expected at the time in terms of rebuilding the company. You need to be a lot less skeptical regarding our ability to do this.

Gelsinger reiterates that the launch of the “Meteor Lake” family processors, aimed at notebooks, is another step towards its goal. The chips will have a new architecture of chipletswhich allows you to separate the different logical blocks of the platform — CPU, GPU, input and output controller, among other components.
This hardware will have a CPU made with Intel 4 lithography (formerly known as “7 nanometers”) to finally replace the Intel 7 process, which should be used once more in 2023 with the launch of the Core i9-14900K, Core i7-14700K and others. 14th generation Core family desktop processors.
In the first half of 2024, Intel plans to start lithography of chips with Intel 20A process, equivalent to 2 nanometers from TSMC and Samsung. In the second half of 2024, the company plans to start manufacturing chips with Intel 18A technology, in the 1.8 nanometer class, and this process might be used by some companies in 2025.
According to Gelsinger, the company received a large prepayment from a company that purchased shipments of its 1.8-nanometer chips. To increase the popularity of its technologies and grow in the segment, Intel intends to offer wafers of silicon to various customers at prices lower than those charged by TSMC.
