  1. 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.

    IMPACT This shift in chip manufacturing focus could influence the performance and availability of future AI-enabled PCs.

  2. 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
