From Ian Cutress, Ryan Smith, More Than Moore substack:
18A Yield
"Side note here from Ian - I've spoken with Intel about their yield numbers. Unfortunately I can't share exact values and refer you to Intel's publicly available comments, but I can confirm the yield curves are following standard industry trends as we get closer to high-volume manufacturing."
"The company is noting that they're installing new equipment to further the ramp-up for high volume production, with Intel Fab 52 (Arizona) installing additional process tools to expand 18A manufacturing. Overall, Intel is expecting to kick off volume production on Intel 18A in the second half of this year, which will support the launch of Panther Lake for clients and Clearwater Forest for servers."
