According to the most recent industry report, by the second quarter of 2026, the yield rate of the compute chip for the Panther Lake processor, which utilizes Intel's cutting-edge 18A manufacturing process, is projected to reach around 80%, accompanied by a defect density (D0) ranging from approximately 0.1 to 0.2. It's important to note, however, that these figures are based on market estimations and have yet to receive official confirmation from Intel.
