Recent press releases and 8-K filings for INTC.
- Intel’s first 18A product, Panther Lake, shipped its initial SKU by year-end, with yields improving month-on-month and expected to reach industry-standard levels by end of 2026 into 2027.
- Approximately 30% of Intel’s wafers are externally sourced; Panther Lake will bring 70% of its tiles back in-house, and Nova Lake will further increase internal wafer share, though some capacity is shifting to servers amid robust demand.
- Intel is undershipping both PC and server markets, with server shortfalls expected to be larger; peak supply constraints are forecast for Q1 2026, easing gradually through the rest of the year.
- Early engagements on the 14A node show improved customer feedback in the definitional phase, more mature PDKs, and reuse of second-generation FinFET/backside power learnings from 18A; volume adoption is targeted in H2 2026–H1 2027.
- CapEx for 2025 is guided at $18 billion, with a directionally down plan for 2026 (±$1 billion), though spending may rise to support external foundry customer ramps.
- Intel shipped its first Panther Lake SKU on 18A by year-end, with yields improving month-over-month and on track to reach industry-standard levels by end-2026/into 2027, meeting its plan-of-record targets.
- About 30% of wafers are currently externally sourced; Panther Lake will see 70% of tiles brought back in-house, and Nova Lake will cover the full PC stack, though internal capacity is being shifted toward servers amid tight supply.
- PC demand has risen from an expected 270 million units to ~290 million in 2025, and server demand—driven by AI, power-efficiency refreshes and agentic AI workloads—has surged, creating peak supply constraints in Q1 2026, then easing through H2 2026.
- Engagement on the 14A node includes early external customer feedback in the definitional phase, more mature PDKs and second-generation FinFET/backside power learnings; yields and performance are ahead of 18A’s comparable stage, with customer ramp expected in H2 2026 into H1 2027.
- 2025 gross CapEx is $18 billion; 2026 spending is expected to be directionally down but flexible within ±$1 billion, with initial 14A capacity in Arizona and larger-scale build-out in Ohio only upon external foundry wins.
- Intel reports 18A yields on Panther Lake improving month-over-month, aiming for industry-standard levels by end-2026 into 2027, with the first Panther Lake SKU shipped by year-end.
- Approximately 30% of wafers are currently externally sourced; Intel plans ~70% in-house logic tiles for Panther Lake and more with Nova Lake, while shifting internal capacity to servers amid tight supply.
- PC unit demand remains robust (industry forecast raised from 270 million to ~290 million units), but Intel expects to undership server demand more than PCs in 2026 due to AI-driven refreshes, with peak supply constraints in Q1 2026.
- Intel is ahead on 14A versus 18A at a comparable development stage—engaging external customers early and improving PDKs—and anticipates external customer ramps in H2 2026 into H1 2027.
- For 2026, Intel’s CapEx is expected to be directionally down from $18 billion in 2025, with flexibility of ±$1 billion and potential increases to support external foundry wins.
- Cornelis CN5000 networking integrated with Supermicro FlexTwin liquid-cooled servers to overcome power, cooling, and network constraints in AI/HPC environments.
- CN5000’s 400 Gbps platform ensures congestion-free data transfer, while FlexTwin captures up to 95% of system heat for stable performance in power-limited data centers.
- Joint testing reports up to 1.5× higher application performance, 29% better performance per networking dollar, and up to 2.3× higher performance per watt in liquid-cooled setups.
- The validated solution is available now through Supermicro and authorized Cornelis partners.
- Intel and Tata Electronics will jointly explore manufacturing, packaging, assembly and advanced packaging of Intel’s AI-powered laptop chips and systems at Tata’s upcoming Gujarat and Assam facilities.
- Tata Electronics is committing about $14 billion to establish India’s first pure-play foundry and complementary assembly and testing units, with its Assam OSAT facility slated to begin operations in Q2 2026 and Gujarat production targeted for 2027.
- The partnership will leverage Intel’s AI compute reference designs and Tata Electronics’ EMS capabilities to rapidly scale tailored AI PC solutions, aiming to capitalize on India’s projection as a top-five AI PC market by 2030.
- Tata Electronics, employing over 65,000 people and reporting revenue of Rs 66,601 crore in the prior financial year, brings significant manufacturing scale and leadership under MD Randhir Thakur, a former Intel foundry services president.
- Intel is retaining its Networking and Edge Group (NEX), shelving plans to spin it off or seek outside investment to enhance integration across AI, data center, and edge computing markets.
- The move aligns with CEO Lip-Bu Tan’s strategic review, which also includes workforce reductions and a more conservative approach to foundry operations.
- NEX leader Sachin Katti, promoted to chief technology and AI officer in April 2024, departed in November to join OpenAI.
- In 2024, Intel reorganized NEX by moving its edge computing business into the Client Computing Group and shifting integrated photonics to the Data Center Group.
- Intel’s trailing twelve-months revenue of $53.44 billion, three-year revenue growth of -13.7%, and operating margin of -0.2% highlight ongoing challenges in profitability and growth.
- Intel faces wafer supply shortages across Intel 7 and 10 nodes, peaking in Q1 2026, affecting both PC and server segments with demand exceeding capacity.
- Intel 18A node progress: first Panther Lake SKU released by year-end; yields improving predictably month-over-month though still below targets; 18AP PDK matured and 18APT designated for advanced packaging, with peak wafer starts expected around 2030.
- Outsourcing strategy: ~30% outsourcing in 2025 as Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake are fully external; Panther Lake will have 70% internal logic volume and Nova Lake will further repatriate desktop wafers; Lunar Lake volumes to grow through Q4 to supplement in-house supply.
- Advanced packaging ramp: EMIB and EMIB-T engagements progressing with anticipated revenue inflection in H2 2026, offering capabilities beyond current CoWoS capacity constraints.
