Raws li cov lus ceeb toom, Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan tab tom xav txog kev tso tseg kev txhawb nqa lub tuam txhab txoj kev tsim khoom 18A (1.8nm) rau cov neeg siv khoom hauv chaw tsim khoom thiab hloov chaw tsom mus rau txoj kev tsim khoom 14A tiam tom ntej (1.4nm) kom tau txais kev txiav txim los ntawm cov neeg siv khoom loj xws li Apple thiab Nvidia. Yog tias qhov kev hloov pauv no tshwm sim, nws yuav yog lub sijhawm thib ob sib law liag Intel tau txo qis nws qhov tseem ceeb. Qhov kev hloov kho uas tau thov tuaj yeem muaj kev cuam tshuam nyiaj txiag tseem ceeb thiab hloov pauv txoj kev lag luam ntawm Intel txoj kev lag luam, ua rau lub tuam txhab tawm ntawm kev lag luam hauv xyoo tom ntej. Intel tau qhia rau peb tias cov ntaub ntawv no yog raws li kev kwv yees ua lag luam. Txawm li cas los xij, tus neeg hais lus tau muab qee qhov kev nkag siab ntxiv rau hauv txoj kev loj hlob ntawm lub tuam txhab, uas peb tau suav nrog hauv qab no. "Peb tsis tawm tswv yim txog kev xaiv thiab kev kwv yees ua lag luam," tus neeg hais lus ntawm Intel tau hais rau Tom's Hardware. "Raws li peb tau hais ua ntej, peb cog lus tias yuav txhawb nqa peb txoj kev loj hlob, pabcuam peb cov neeg siv khoom, thiab txhim kho peb qhov xwm txheej nyiaj txiag yav tom ntej."
Txij li thaum nws los ua haujlwm rau lub Peb Hlis, Tan tau tshaj tawm txog kev npaj txo nqi rau lub Plaub Hlis, uas yuav suav nrog kev tso cov neeg ua haujlwm tawm thiab kev tshem tawm qee qhov project. Raws li cov xov xwm tshaj tawm, thaum Lub Rau Hli, nws tau pib qhia rau cov npoj yaig tias qhov kev nyiam ntawm 18A txheej txheem - tsim los qhia txog Intel lub peev xwm tsim khoom - tau poob qis rau cov neeg siv khoom sab nraud, ua rau nws ntseeg tias nws yog qhov tsim nyog rau lub tuam txhab kom tsis txhob muab 18A thiab nws cov version 18A-P zoo dua rau cov neeg siv khoom foundry.
Hloov chaw, Tan tau hais kom muab ntau cov peev txheej los ua kom tiav thiab txhawb nqa lub tuam txhab lub node tiam tom ntej, 14A, uas xav tias yuav npaj txhij rau kev tsim khoom pheej hmoo hauv xyoo 2027 thiab rau kev tsim khoom loj hauv xyoo 2028. Muab lub sijhawm ntawm 14A, tam sim no yog lub sijhawm los pib txhawb nqa nws ntawm cov neeg siv khoom Intel sab nraud.
Intel lub tshuab tsim khoom 18A yog thawj lub node ntawm lub tuam txhab siv nws lub transistors RibbonFET gate-all-around (GAA) tiam thib ob thiab PowerVia back-side power delivery network (BSPDN). Qhov sib txawv, 14A siv RibbonFET transistors thiab PowerDirect BSPDN technology, uas xa hluav taws xob ncaj qha mus rau qhov chaw thiab ntws ntawm txhua lub transistor los ntawm cov neeg sib cuag tshwj xeeb, thiab muaj Turbo Cells technology rau cov kev tseem ceeb. Tsis tas li ntawd, 18A yog Intel thawj lub tshuab tshiab uas sib xws nrog cov cuab yeej tsim qauv sab nraud rau nws cov neeg siv khoom foundry.
Raws li cov neeg sab hauv, yog tias Intel tso tseg kev muag khoom sab nraud ntawm 18A thiab 18A-P, nws yuav tsum tau sau tawm ntau heev kom them rau ntau txhiab lab daus las uas tau nqis peev rau kev tsim cov thev naus laus zis tsim khoom no. Nyob ntawm seb cov nqi tsim khoom raug suav li cas, qhov kev sau tawm zaum kawg tuaj yeem ncav cuag ntau pua lab lossis txawm tias ntau txhiab lab daus las.
RibbonFET thiab PowerVia tau pib tsim rau 20A, tab sis lub Yim Hli tas los, cov thev naus laus zis tau raug tshem tawm rau cov khoom sab hauv kom tsom mus rau 18A rau ob qho tib si sab hauv thiab sab nraud.
Qhov laj thawj tom qab Intel txoj kev txav mus los yuav yooj yim heev: los ntawm kev txwv tus naj npawb ntawm cov neeg siv khoom rau 18A, lub tuam txhab tuaj yeem txo cov nqi ua haujlwm. Feem ntau ntawm cov khoom siv xav tau rau 20A, 18A, thiab 14A (tsis suav nrog cov khoom siv EUV uas muaj qhov loj me) twb siv lawm ntawm nws lub Hoobkas D1D hauv Oregon thiab nws lub Hoobkas Fab 52 thiab Fab 62 hauv Arizona. Txawm li cas los xij, thaum cov khoom siv no ua haujlwm tau zoo, lub tuam txhab yuav tsum suav nrog nws cov nqi poob qis. Thaum muaj kev txiav txim siab tsis meej ntawm cov neeg siv khoom sab nraud, tsis xa cov khoom siv no tuaj yeem tso cai rau Intel txiav cov nqi. Ntxiv mus, los ntawm kev tsis muab 18A thiab 18A-P rau cov neeg siv khoom sab nraud, Intel yuav txuag tau cov nqi engineering uas cuam tshuam nrog kev txhawb nqa cov circuits sab nraud hauv kev kuaj, kev tsim khoom loj, thiab kev tsim khoom ntawm Intel Hoobkas. Nws yog qhov tseeb, qhov no tsuas yog kev xav xwb. Txawm li cas los xij, los ntawm kev tsis muab 18A thiab 18A-P rau cov neeg siv khoom sab nraud, Intel yuav tsis tuaj yeem qhia txog qhov zoo ntawm nws cov nodes tsim khoom rau ntau tus neeg siv khoom nrog ntau yam qauv tsim, ua rau lawv tsuas muaj ib txoj kev xaiv hauv ob mus rau peb xyoos tom ntej: koom tes nrog TSMC thiab siv N2, N2P, lossis txawm tias A16.
Txawm hais tias Samsung tau teem sijhawm pib tsim cov chips ntawm nws lub SF2 (tseem hu ua SF3P) node tom qab xyoo no, lub node no yuav poob qis dua Intel's 18A thiab TSMC's N2 thiab A16 hauv cov nqe lus ntawm lub zog, kev ua tau zoo, thiab thaj chaw. Yeej, Intel yuav tsis sib tw nrog TSMC's N2 thiab A16, uas yeej tsis pab kom yeej cov neeg siv khoom muaj peev xwm ntseeg siab rau Intel lwm cov khoom (xws li 14A, 3-T/3-E, Intel/UMC 12nm, thiab lwm yam). Cov neeg sab hauv tau qhia tias Tan tau thov kom Intel cov kws tshaj lij npaj ib daim ntawv thov rau kev sib tham nrog Intel pawg thawj coj saib xyuas lub caij nplooj zeeg no. Daim ntawv thov yuav suav nrog kev txwv tsis pub kos npe rau cov neeg siv khoom tshiab rau 18A txheej txheem, tab sis muab qhov loj thiab qhov nyuaj ntawm qhov teeb meem, qhov kev txiav txim siab zaum kawg yuav tsum tos kom txog thaum pawg thawj coj saib xyuas sib ntsib dua tom qab xyoo no.
Intel nws tus kheej tau tshaj tawm tias tsis kam tham txog cov xwm txheej xav tab sis tau lees paub tias cov neeg siv khoom tseem ceeb rau 18A yog nws cov khoom lag luam, uas npaj yuav siv cov thev naus laus zis los tsim Panther Lake laptop CPU pib xyoo 2025. Thaum kawg, cov khoom lag luam xws li Clearwater Forest, Diamond Rapids, thiab Jaguar Shores yuav siv 18A thiab 18A-P.
Kev Xav Tau Tsawg? Intel txoj kev siv zog los nyiam cov neeg siv khoom sab nraud loj rau nws lub chaw tsim khoom yog qhov tseem ceeb rau nws txoj kev hloov pauv, vim tias tsuas yog cov khoom loj xwb thiaj li yuav tso cai rau lub tuam txhab rov qab tau cov nqi ntawm ntau txhiab lab uas nws tau siv los tsim nws cov txheej txheem txheej txheem. Txawm li cas los xij, tsis suav nrog Intel nws tus kheej, tsuas yog Amazon, Microsoft, thiab US Department of Defense tau lees paub cov phiaj xwm los siv 18A. Cov ntawv ceeb toom qhia tias Broadcom thiab Nvidia kuj tseem tab tom sim Intel cov txheej txheem txheej txheem tshiab, tab sis lawv tseem tsis tau cog lus siv nws rau cov khoom tiag tiag. Piv rau TSMC's N2, Intel's 18A muaj qhov zoo tseem ceeb: nws txhawb nqa kev xa hluav taws xob sab nraub qaum, uas yog qhov tshwj xeeb tshaj yog rau cov processors muaj zog siab uas tsom mus rau AI thiab HPC daim ntawv thov. TSMC's A16 processor, nruab nrog lub zog loj (SPR), xav tias yuav nkag mus rau hauv kev tsim khoom loj thaum kawg ntawm xyoo 2026, txhais tau tias 18A yuav khaws nws qhov zoo ntawm kev xa hluav taws xob sab nraub qaum rau Amazon, Microsoft, thiab lwm tus neeg siv khoom rau qee lub sijhawm. Txawm li cas los xij, N2 xav tias yuav muab cov transistor ntom ntom dua, uas pab tau rau feem ntau ntawm cov qauv tsim chip. Tsis tas li ntawd xwb, thaum Intel tau khiav Panther Lake chips ntawm nws lub D1D fab rau ntau lub quarters (yog li, Intel tseem siv 18A rau kev tsim khoom pheej hmoo), nws cov Fab 52 thiab Fab 62 uas muaj ntau lub peev xwm pib khiav 18A cov chips sim thaum lub Peb Hlis Ntuj xyoo no, txhais tau tias lawv yuav tsis pib tsim cov chips lag luam kom txog thaum kawg ntawm xyoo 2025, lossis qhov tseeb dua, thaum ntxov ntawm xyoo 2025. Tau kawg, Intel cov neeg siv khoom sab nraud xav tsim lawv cov qauv tsim hauv cov Hoobkas muaj ntau hauv Arizona es tsis yog hauv cov chaw tsim khoom hauv Oregon.
Hauv kev xaus lus, Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan tab tom xav txog kev tso tseg kev tshaj tawm ntawm lub tuam txhab txoj kev tsim khoom 18A rau cov neeg siv khoom sab nraud thiab hloov chaw tsom mus rau lub node tsim khoom 14A tiam tom ntej, lub hom phiaj yog kom nyiam cov neeg siv khoom loj xws li Apple thiab Nvidia. Qhov kev txav no yuav ua rau muaj kev sau nqi ntau heev, vim Intel tau nqis peev ntau txhiab lab daus las hauv kev tsim cov txheej txheem 18A thiab 18A-P. Kev hloov kev tsom mus rau cov txheej txheem 14A yuav pab txo cov nqi thiab npaj zoo dua rau cov neeg siv khoom sab nraud, tab sis nws kuj tseem yuav ua rau tsis muaj kev ntseeg siab rau Intel lub peev xwm ua ntej cov txheej txheem 14A teem caij nkag mus rau hauv kev tsim khoom hauv xyoo 2027-2028. Thaum lub node 18A tseem ceeb rau Intel cov khoom lag luam (xws li Panther Lake CPU), kev thov sab nraud tsawg (txog tam sim no, tsuas yog Amazon, Microsoft, thiab US Department of Defense tau lees paub cov phiaj xwm siv nws) ua rau muaj kev txhawj xeeb txog nws qhov muaj peev xwm ua tau. Qhov kev txiav txim siab no txhais tau tias Intel yuav tawm ntawm kev lag luam dav dav ua ntej cov txheej txheem 14A pib. Txawm hais tias Intel xaiv tshem tawm cov txheej txheem 18A ntawm nws cov khoom siv rau ntau yam kev siv thiab cov neeg siv khoom, lub tuam txhab tseem yuav siv cov txheej txheem 18A los tsim cov chips rau nws cov khoom uas twb tau tsim rau cov txheej txheem ntawd. Intel kuj tseem npaj siab yuav ua tiav nws cov xaj txwv, suav nrog kev muab cov chips rau cov neeg siv khoom uas tau hais los saum toj no.
