Intel details 18A progress and supply challenges at Barclays Global Tech Conference
INTC
Product Launch
Guidance Update
  • 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 outlines progress on 18A yields, 14A roadmap and supply constraints
INTC
Product Launch
Guidance Update
  • 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 outlines 18A progress, supply constraints, and roadmap updates
INTC
Guidance Update
Product Launch
New Projects/Investments
  • 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.

Intel inks pact with Tata Electronics to explore chip manufacturing
INTC
New Projects/Investments
  • 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 retains Networking and Edge Group
INTC
Management Change
  • 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 discusses supply constraints and 18A roadmap at UBS conference
INTC
  • 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.
  • Leadership and organizational changes: CEO Lip-Bu Yeh has flattened Intel from ~11 to 5–6 management layers, integrated engineering into the executive team, mandated engineer-customer interactions, and initiated legal separation of the Intel Foundry business to enhance strategic optionality.

Intel outlines supply constraints and technology roadmap at UBS 2025 conference
INTC
Product Launch
New Projects/Investments
Guidance Update
  • Intel is undersupplying both PC and data center demand, with shortages most pronounced on Intel 7. Multiple cloud service providers are seeking long-term supply agreements, and the peak of shortages is expected in Q1 2026.
  • The first Panther Lake (Intel 18A) SKU shipped by year-end 2025; yields are improving predictably month-over-month, with additional SKUs ramping in H1 2026, though still below target levels.
