Intel’s much-hyped 18A chip node is facing serious yield issues—only 10% of chips are making the cut, far below the 50% threshold for profitable production. With Panther Lake CPUs relying on this process, is Intel risking its future on a troubled node? Are smaller chiplets enough to solve these yield headaches, or is this a sign of deeper problems in Intel’s foundry ambitions? Let’s debate: is Intel still a chip leader, or falling behind? #Tech #Intel #ChipManufacturing
