Intel announces 18A process node has entered risk production

What's the capacity of Intel Fab 52 starting 2026?

Fab 52’s capacity ramp is anticipated to begin at 1,000–5,000 WPM in late 2025, scale to 10,000–15,000 WPM in 2026, and reach a full capacity of 25,000–30,000 WPM by 2027–2028, assuming construction and yield targets are met.

I'm soooo glad you agree that Intel’s current 18A fabrication capacity is probably ~1,000 WPM, especially for risk production

No need to be sarcastic I was merely agreeing they will be doing 1K WPM for 18A but the actual capacity in Oregon is way higher than this even for D1X

Wafer fabrication capacities at Intel’s Ronler Acres campus in Hillsboro, Oregon, are 5,000–8,000 wafers per month for the D1X fab and 1,000–2,000 wafers per month for the D1D fab, totaling a combined capacity of 6,000–10,000 wafers per month, AFAIK, which in this case could stand to be further.
