In addition to the proactive and even aggressive communication of the new CEO Pat Gelsinger, it seems that at Intel everything is getting better and better, with an early schedule.
So, the new CEO was keen to make some announcements, in particular on the ambitious schedule he had set for his teams. On this point, it seems that the pressure pays off since all the manufacturing processes announced by the company will arrive earlier than expected. All the many problems that have plagued Intel regarding its upgrade in advanced lithography, which polluted the arrival of 10nm, now seem like ancient history. Now, the 7nm process, renamed Intel 4, is expected to arrive in 2023. For the future, the CEO says that the company’s future technologies will come much faster than expected. All this while reminding us that ” many years of bad execution are not compensated in nine months“.
Intel: a much faster recovery than expected?
R&D investments will continue to increase, but most importantly, the CEO says theIntel 4 and 3 manufacturing processes, Intel 20A and 18A will arrive sooner than announced. During a financial conference a few hours ago, Pat Gelsinger continued to send out big numbers confirming the return to form of the blue: With the Intel 7, Alder Lake is already shipping to the market, it’s a great product that gets great reviews in the market, and it’s clearly the flagship product for consumers, said Pat Gelsinger. We said that with Intel 4, our Meteor Lake product was promising. And I said that the Intel 3, Intel 20A and Intel 18A processes were ahead of schedule. And also, maybe to show that this is the case, We are attracting customers to our foundry business, like Qualcomm and others, who are very demanding customers.
