    Intel tells PC makers to adopt 18A CPUs or lose their supply, report claims — Intel 7 supply dries up, pressuring notebook and PC manufacturers in the US, China, and Taiwan

    Intel is reportedly pressuring PC manufacturers to adopt its newer 18A-based processors by limiting the supply of older Intel 7 CPUs. This strategy aims to shift production towards higher-margin server and industrial clients, while also encouraging consumer PC makers to redesign their product lines around the more expensive 18A chips. The move is expected to take at least three months for manufacturers to implement and could force upgrades to other components to justify the increased cost. AI

    Intel's Project Firefly creates sub-$600 laptops to compete with Apple's MacBook Neo — leverages China's smartphone manufacturing blueprint to produce affordable Wildcat Lake systems

    Intel has launched Project Firefly, an initiative to create sub-$600 Windows laptops that can compete with Apple's MacBook Neo. This project aims to leverage China's smartphone manufacturing efficiency to produce affordable devices powered by Intel's new Core Series 3 chips, codenamed Wildcat Lake. The goal is to streamline laptop design and manufacturing using standardized components and modular approaches, similar to the smartphone industry, to significantly reduce R&D and production costs. Several manufacturers, including Asus, HP, and Honor, are already releasing Wildcat Lake-powered laptops in China, with Lenovo's upcoming Lecoo Air 14 being the first under the Project Firefly banner.
