Intel reportedly urges PC manufacturers to switch to 18A high-end chips
Intel is reportedly urging its major PC partners to increase their adoption of CPUs manufactured using its 18A process, which began mass production late last year. The company has informed clients that older chips, such as those from the 12th to 14th generation Core series using the Intel 7 process, and chips manufactured by external foundries like TSMC's N3B process, will not receive additional supply quotas or expedited shipments.
