Intel has announced that its 18A process has entered mass production at the Fab 52 facility in Arizona. The announcement was made during the 2025 Intel Technology Innovation and Industry Ecosystem Conference.
The 18A process utilizes gate-all-around transistor technology and backside power delivery, achieving improvements in both energy efficiency and density. Compared to the previous generation, the new process delivers a 15% performance increase at the same power consumption while increasing transistor density by 30%.
Intel stated that this technology serves as the foundation for its next three generations of advancements. The company is rapidly progressing with the development of subsequent product generations based on this breakthrough.
