In 2024, just over 5% of Intel&#8217;s internal chip manufacturing was on its latest EUV-based nodes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Looking ahead to the rest of the year, we will strengthen our client road map with the launch of Panther Lake, our lead product on Intel 18A in the second half of 2025,&#8221; Intel&#8217;s new interim co-CEO Michelle Holthaus said on the latest earnings calls with the usual money men and spreadsheet soothsayers.<\/p>\n<p>However, Holthaus also implied that Panther Lake using Intel&#8217;s new 18A node doesn&#8217;t automatically mean that all of the company&#8217;s future CPUs will be coming back in house. For its next-gen desktop CPU Nova Lake, it seems Intel is planning to split production between its own 18A silicon and likely a TSMC node, perhaps N2.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We look at each generation of products based on what&#8217;s the right product, what&#8217;s the right process, what&#8217;s the right market window and what allows our customers to win. So, for Panther Lake, that was 18A,&#8221; Holthaus explains.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then as you look forward, to our next-generation product for client after that, Nova Lake will actually have die both inside and outside [Intel Foundry] for that process. So, you&#8217;ll actually see compute tiles inside and outside,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1648px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"4WXf5z3SZ657wbzMadBm4g\" name=\"intel-lunar-lake.jpg\" alt=\"Intel Lunar Lake\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/intel-says-next-gen-panther-lake-laptop-chips-on-its-new-18a-silicon-are-still-on-track-for-later-this-year-but-things-are-more-complicated-on-the-desktop.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1648\" height=\"927\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The Lunar Lake CPU came out after Meteor Lake, but ditched the then-new Intel 4 node for production at TSMC. <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Intel)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>During the call, Holthaus made generally positive noises about the 18A node which is critical to Intel&#8217;s future, not only for its own chips but also as a foundry service offering to customers in competition to Taiwanese megafoundry TSMC.
