Intel's previously unannounced Intel 10A (1nm equivalent) will enter production/development in late 2027, marking the company's first 1nm node, with the 14A (1.4nm) node expected to enter mass production in 2026. It's a schedule. The company will also create fully autonomous AI-powered fabs in the future. Tom's hardware: Keyvan Esfarjani, Intel's EVP and GM, Foundry Manufacturing and Supply, held a very insightful session highlighting the company's latest developments and showing how the roadmap will unfold over the next few years. did. Here you can see his two graphs. The first provides an overview of the company's K-WSPW (thousands of wafer starts per week) capabilities for Intel's various process nodes. In particular, production capacity typically indicates how many wafers can be started, but not total production, and production varies with yield. You can see that there is no label on the Y-axis where you can directly read Intel's production volume. However, this does give us a solid idea of the proportionality of node production that Intel is planning for the next few years.
Intel did not specify the arrival date of the next 14A node in its previous announcement, but here the company hints that it will start producing Intel 14A nodes in 2026. More importantly, Intel will begin production/development of the current node. -The Company announced an unannounced 10A node in late 2027, completing its roster of nodes manufactured with EUV technology. The “A” suffix in Intel's node naming convention represents angstroms, and 10 angstroms translates to 1nm. This means this is the company's first 1nm class node. Intel has not disclosed details of the 10A/1nm node, but says the new node is at least what he classifies as having double-digit power/performance improvements. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has said that the new node's threshold is around a 14%-15% improvement, so at 10A he can expect at least that level of improvement compared to the 14A node. (For example, the difference between Intel 7 and Intel 4 is a 15% improvement.)
