At the RBC Capital Markets Global TMT Conference, John Pitzer, who serves as Intel's Vice President of Corporate Planning and Investor Relations, made an announcement. He stated that the yield rate of the 'Panther Lake' chip, crafted on Intel's 18A process node, has been steadily rising. Over the past several consecutive months, it has seen an approximate 7 percentage - point increase each month. This rate of improvement is in line with the healthy pace of yield enhancement commonly observed in the industry. Earlier, there were reports about low yields at the 18A node, which had sparked concerns among industry observers. However, the current situation has undergone a substantial turnaround. This positive change strongly suggests that the 'Panther Lake' chip is well - positioned to be delivered on schedule.
