Sekureva kwemishumo, CEO weIntel Lip-Bu Tan ari kufunga nezvekumisa kusimudzirwa kwemaitiro ekugadzira e18A (1.8nm) ekambani kune vatengi vemakambani anogadzira michina yesimbi asi panzvimbo pezvo achitarisa maitiro ekugadzira e14A echizvarwa chinotevera (1.4nm) mukuedza kuwana maodha kubva kuvatengi vakuru vakaita seApple neNvidia. Kana shanduko iyi ikaitika, icharatidza nguva yechipiri yakatevedzana iyo Intel ichideredza zvinokosheswa zvayo. Kugadziriswa uku kunogona kuve nemigumisiro yakakura yemari uye kuchinja nzira yebhizinesi remakambani anogadzira michina yesimbi yeIntel, zvichiita kuti kambani ibude mumusika wemakambani anogadzira michina yesimbi mumakore anotevera. Intel yakatiudza kuti ruzivo urwu rwakavakirwa pakufungidzira kwemusika. Zvisinei, mutauriri akapa mamwe maonero pamusoro penzira yekuvandudza kambani, yatakaisa pazasi. "Hatitaure nezvemakuhwa emusika nekufungidzira," mutauriri weIntel akaudza Tom's Hardware. "Sezvatakataura kare, takazvipira kusimbisa nzira yedu yekuvandudza, kushandira vatengi vedu, uye kugadzirisa mamiriro edu emari mune ramangwana."
Kubva paakatanga basa munaKurume, Tan akazivisa hurongwa hwekuderedza mari muna Kubvumbi, hunotarisirwa kusanganisira kudzingwa mabasa uye kukanzurwa kwemapurojekiti mamwe. Sekureva kwenhau, panosvika Chikumi, akatanga kuudza vamwe vake kuti kufarira kwemaitiro e18A—akagadzirirwa kuratidza kugona kweIntel kugadzira—kwakanga kwava kudzikira kune vatengi vekunze, zvichimuita kuti afunge kuti zvaive nemusoro kuti kambani irege kupa 18A neshanduro yayo yakawedzerwa ye18A-P kune vatengi vemakambani anogadzira zvinhu.
Pane kudaro, Tan akapa zano rekuti pave nezvimwe zvinhu zvekushandisa kuti kambani iyi ipedzise nekusimudzira kambani itsva, 14A, iyo inotarisirwa kuti igadziriswe nenjodzi muna 2027 uye kuti igadziriswe zvakanyanya muna 2028. Tichifunga nezvenguva ye14A, ino ndiyo nguva yekutanga kuishambadza pakati pevatengi veIntel foundry vechitatu.
Tekinoroji yekugadzira yeIntel ye18A ndiyo node yekutanga yekambani kushandisa transistors yayo yechizvarwa chechipiri cheRibbonFET gate-all-around (GAA) uye PowerVia back-side power delivery network (BSPDN). Kusiyana neizvi, 14A inoshandisa transistors dzeRibbonFET uye tekinoroji yePowerDirect BSPDN, iyo inopa simba zvakananga kunzvimbo inobuda transistor yega yega kuburikidza nekubatana kwakatsaurirwa, uye ine tekinoroji yeTurbo Cells yenzira dzakakosha. Pamusoro pezvo, 18A ndiyo tekinoroji yekutanga yeIntel yemazuva ano inoenderana nezvishandiso zvekugadzira zvevamwe vatengi vayo vekugadzira zvinhu.
Sekureva kwevanoona nezvemukati mekambani, kana Intel ikarega kutengesa 18A ne18A-P kunze kwenyika, ichafanira kubvisa mari yakawanda kuti ikwanise kubhadhara mabhiriyoni emadhora akashandiswa mukugadzira matekinoroji aya ekugadzira. Zvichienderana nekuti mari yekuvandudza inoverengwa sei, mari yekupedzisira inogona kusvika mazana emamiriyoni kana kunyange mabhiriyoni emadhora.
RibbonFET nePowerVia zvakatanga kugadzirwa zve20A, asi Nyamavhuvhu apfuura, tekinoroji iyi yakabviswa kuti zvigadzirwa zvemukati zvitarise pa18A yezvigadzirwa zvemukati nezvekunze.
Chikonzero chiri shure kwekuchinja kweIntel chingave chiri nyore: nekuderedza huwandu hwevatengi vanogona kuvepo pa18A, kambani inogona kuderedza mari yekushandisa. Midziyo mizhinji inodiwa pa20A, 18A, uye 14A (kusasanganisa michina yeEUV ine nhamba yakakura) yatove kushandiswa paD1D fab yayo muOregon uye Fab 52 neFab 62 yayo muArizona. Zvisinei, kana michina iyi yatanga kushanda zviri pamutemo, kambani inofanira kuverenga mari yayo yekuderera kwemutengo. Panyaya yemirairo yevatengi vechitatu isina chokwadi, kusaisa michina iyi kunogona kubvumira Intel kuderedza mari. Uyezve, nekusavapa 18A ne18A-P kune vatengi vekunze, Intel inogona kuchengetedza mari yeinjiniya ine chekuita nekutsigira maseketi echitatu mukutora sampuro, kugadzirwa kwehuwandu, uye kugadzirwa paIntel fabs. Zviri pachena kuti izvi kungofungidzira. Zvisinei, nekurega kupa 18A ne18A-P kune vatengi vekunze, Intel haizokwanisi kuratidza zvakanakira ma node ayo ekugadzira kune vatengi vakasiyana-siyana vane magadzirirwo akasiyana-siyana, zvichivasiya vaine sarudzo imwe chete mumakore maviri kusvika matatu anotevera: kushanda pamwe chete neTSMC uye kushandisa N2, N2P, kana kunyange A16.
Kunyange hazvo Samsung yakagadzirira kutanga kugadzira machipisi zviri pamutemo paSF2 (inozivikanwawo seSF3P) node gare gare gore rino, node iyi inotarisirwa kusaririra kumashure kweIntel's 18A neTSMC's N2 neA16 maererano nesimba, mashandiro, uye nzvimbo. Chaizvoizvo, Intel haizokwikwidzane neTSMC's N2 neA16, izvo zvisingabatsire mukuwana chivimbo chevatengi vanogona kuvepo mune zvimwe zvigadzirwa zveIntel (zvakadai se14A, 3-T/3-E, Intel/UMC 12nm, nezvimwewo). Vanyori vemukati vakaburitsa pachena kuti Tan akakumbira nyanzvi dzeIntel kuti dzigadzirire chikumbiro chekukurukura nebhodhi reIntel mumatsutso ano. Chikumbiro ichi chingasanganisira kumisa kusaina kwevatengi vatsva kwemaitiro e18A, asi tichifunga nezvekukura uye kuoma kwenyaya iyi, sarudzo yekupedzisira ingangofanira kumirira kusvika bhodhi yasangana zvakare gare gare gore rino.
Intel pachayo inonzi yakaramba kutaura nezvezviitiko zvekufungidzira asi yakasimbisa kuti vatengi vayo ve18A vanga vari madhipatimendi ayo ezvigadzirwa, ayo anoronga kushandisa tekinoroji iyi kugadzira Panther Lake laptop CPU kutanga muna 2025. Pakupedzisira, zvigadzirwa zvakaita seClearwater Forest, Diamond Rapids, naJaguar Shores zvichashandisa 18A ne18A-P.
Kudiwa Kushoma Here? Kuedza kweIntel kukwezva vatengi vakuru vekunze kufekitori yayo kwakakosha pakuchinja kwayo, sezvo huwandu hwakawanda chete huchabvumira kambani iyi kudzorera mari yemabhiriyoni yayakashandisa mukugadzira matekinoroji ayo ekugadzira. Zvisinei, kunze kweIntel pachayo, Amazon, Microsoft, neUS Department of Defense chete ndivo vakasimbisa zviri pamutemo hurongwa hwekushandisa 18A. Mishumo inoratidza kuti Broadcom neNvidia vari kuyedzawo tekinoroji yemazuva ano yeIntel, asi havasati vazvipira kuishandisa kune zvigadzirwa chaizvo. Zvichienzaniswa neTSMC's N2, Intel's 18A ine mukana mukuru: inotsigira kuburitswa kwesimba rekumashure, iro rinonyanya kubatsira kune ma processor ane simba rakawanda akagadzirirwa maAI neHPC applications. TSMC's A16 processor, ine super power rail (SPR), inotarisirwa kutanga kugadzirwa zvakanyanya panosvika kupera kwa2026, zvichireva kuti 18A icharamba iine mukana wayo wekutumira simba rekumashure kuAmazon, Microsoft, nevamwe vatengi vanogona kuvepo kwenguva yakati. Zvisinei, N2 inotarisirwa kupa huwandu hwakawanda hwe transistor density, iyo inobatsira ruzhinji rwema chip designs. Pamusoro pezvo, kunyange hazvo Intel yave ichishandisa machipisi ePanther Lake paD1D fab yayo kwezvikamu zvinoverengeka (saka, Intel ichiri kushandisa 18A pakugadzira zvine njodzi), Fab 52 yayo ine huwandu hwakawanda neFab 62 dzakatanga kushandisa machipisi ekuyedza e18A munaKurume wegore rino, zvichireva kuti hadzizotanga kugadzira machipisi ekutengesa kusvika pakupera kwa2025, kana kuti, kutanga kwa2025. Ehe, vatengi vekunze veIntel vanofarira kugadzira magadzirirwo avo mumafekitori ane huwandu hwakawanda muArizona pane kugadzira machipisi muOregon.
Muchidimbu, CEO weIntel Lip-Bu Tan ari kufunga nezvekumisa kusimudzirwa kwemaitiro ekugadzira 18A yekambani kune vatengi vekunze asi panzvimbo pezvo achitarisa pane node yekugadzirwa kwe14A yechizvarwa chinotevera, nechinangwa chekukwezva vatengi vakuru vakaita seApple neNvidia. Danho iri rinogona kukonzera kushomeka kukuru, sezvo Intel yakaisa mabhiriyoni mukugadzira matekinoroji e18A ne18A-P. Kuchinja kutarisa kune maitiro e14A kunogona kubatsira kuderedza mitengo uye kugadzirira zviri nani vatengi vebato rechitatu, asi zvinogonawo kukanganisa chivimbo mukugona kweIntel kugadzira 14A isati yatanga kugadzirwa muna 2027-2028. Kunyange zvazvo node ye18A ichiri yakakosha kune zvigadzirwa zveIntel (senge Panther Lake CPU), kudiwa kushoma kwebato rechitatu (kusvika pari zvino, Amazon, Microsoft, neUS Department of Defense chete ndivo vakasimbisa zvirongwa zvekuishandisa) zvinomutsa kunetseka nezvekushanda kwayo. Sarudzo iyi inogona kureva kuti Intel inogona kubuda mumusika wekugadzira 14A isati yatanga. Kunyangwe Intel ikasarudza kubvisa maitiro e18A kubva muzvinhu zvayo zvekugadzira zvinhu zvemhando dzakasiyana siyana nevatengi, kambani icharamba ichishandisa maitiro e18A kugadzira machipisi ezvigadzirwa zvayo zvakatogadzirwa kare. Intel inodawo kuzadzisa maodha ayo akaganhurirwa, kusanganisira kupa machipisi kune vatengi vataurwa pamusoro apa.
