Intel Foundry has a blog on LinkedIn that is worth a look. The blogs are by trusted Intel Foundry technical experts and are filled with content. I will cherry pick write a bit about them but be sure and subscribe to this, absolutely.
Intel 18A-P is not a new process node in the conventional sense. It is a performance-enhanced derivative… Read More
Intel’s next-generation 14A manufacturing process is showing unusually strong early progress, with defect density falling faster than the company expected. The improvement gives Intel a technical boost as it attempts to restore confidence in its manufacturing operation, win foundry customers and demonstrate that years… Read More
Phillip Stanley-Marbell is the founder and CEO of Signaloid. Up until September 2025, he was a full Professor (Chair of Physical Computation) in the Electrical Engineering Division of the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, where he led the Physical Computation Laboratory. He completed his PhD at Carnegie… Read More

Diamond Rapids is Intel’s next-generation Xeon processor, designed around the proposition that hyperscale performance increasingly depends on moving, processing, and protecting data as efficiently as executing instructions. The architecture replaces the conventional… Read More

Intel Core Series 3, code-named Wildcat Lake, is a mainstream client system-on-chip derived from the Panther Lake-based Core Ultra Series 3 architecture. Its design objective is not maximum feature density, but broad deployment of current-generation CPU, graphics, AI, memory, security, and connectivity… Read More
Capital spending is often treated as if it becomes semiconductor capacity about twelve months later. That can be a useful rule for equipment installed in an existing fab. It is a poor description of a new fab built from the ground up.
I tested the distinction using five advanced-node projects in the United States where… Read More
Daniel is joined by Anne-Marie Tierney, Divisional Manager at IDA Ireland. Anne-Marie has 24 years’ experience in the global investment environment with IDA Ireland, working across several key roles in Ireland and abroad, positioning Ireland for high impact investments, with a specific interest in semiconductors. Prior … Read More
Intel and TSMC are pursuing the same objective—manufacturing smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient semiconductors—but they have adopted different strategies for advanced lithography. Intel moved early to develop High-Numerical-Aperture Extreme Ultraviolet lithography, commonly called High-NA EUV, while TSMC… Read More
TSMC’s CoPoS, generally described as Chip-on-Panel-on-Substrate, and Intel’s EMIB, or Embedded Multi-die Interconnect Bridge, address the same strategic problem: integrating increasingly large, heterogeneous chiplet systems. However, they attack different physical constraints. CoPoS is an emerging panel-level … Read More
One of the most difficult things to do in life is ask for help. This is inherently a big problem in the semiconductor industry dating back to the IDM days where silos of secrecy were established. As a result Intel has struggled with yield since the 14nm FinFET process nodes.
On the outside PDF Solutions is a publicly traded semiconductor… Read More
