At the media and analysts meeting after the IFS Direct 2024 conference, CEO Pat Gelsinger confirmed that Intel is using the advanced craft node node technology of TSMC for it for it.The forthcoming launch of the manufacturing of the manufacturing codenames Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake CPU provides support.
During the meeting, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said that Intel has been cooperating with TSMC for CPU design and confirmedThe node is advanced to 3 nano nodes. Among them, Arrow Lake will use TSMC N3 node, Lunar Lake will use 3B nodes, which officially ushered in the outside worlds expectation for many years.
Intel Arrow Lake CPU will be an important product launched by the company later this year, using Intels own 20A craft node.The previous details have pointed out that the GPU chip will use TSMCs 3 -nanometer (N3) process node.Although the GPU chip uses the same IGPU architecture as Meteor Lake, also known as Alchemist "XE-LPG", it will be optimized for the mobile lineup in the form of Xe-LPG+ architecture.In addition, the transformation from N5 to N3 will bring a good improvement in terms of efficiency and performance.
At the same time, Intels Lunar Lake CPU is expectedMade in.But this may be limited to the CPU chip.Because Lunar Lake abandoned the core of Alchemist, and instead uses the next-generation graphics architecture codenamed Battlemage "XE2-LPG", the GPU chip will have a significant upgrade than Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake CPU.It is reported that Intel will use TSMCs N3B process nodes to produce Lunar Lake GPU chips.Summarize summary:
Intel Arrow Lake: 20A (CPU chip)/TSMC N3 (GPU chip chip chip chip (GPU chip chip chip chip chip chip chip chip chip chip chip)
Intel Lunar Lake: 20A? (CPU chip)/TSMC N3B (GPU chip)
Not only that, there have been reports that the client CPU of Intels future code NOVA LAKE will also use the advanced PCMs advanced powerCraft node.Nova Lake CPU is expected to use a 2NM node, but if a chip or the entire chip will be manufactured with N2 nodes, a 2NM node will be used.Although Intel promised to achieve a process technology leap in 4 nodes within 5 years, Intel showed strong dependence on TSMC in terms of meeting the supply demand for customer CPUs.
At the IFS Direct 2024 conference, Intel named its foundry service to Intel Foundry, and added a new 14A node and the existing nodes.Model.Intels independent GPU series has used TSMCs N6 craft node. It is expected that the Battlemage independent lineup launched later this year will continue to use the node.
