2026 Compute – Process Analysis Briefing 1

T1 2026 briefing reviews logic roadmap updates and highlights Intel 18A, showcasing GAA and backside power as key process milestones.

The T1 2026 video briefing will start with a review of this quarter's updates to the logic technology industry roadmap, based on new announcements and updates from manufacturers, followed by an overview of the analysis roadmap for 2026 and the next year. The bulk of the video briefings will be an account of their latest generation of process, Intel 18A, implemented for their recently released mobile-centric processor, Panther Lake, which is their first Gate-all-around transistor-based process technology with back-side power delivery. Intel 18A represents a major technological and manufacturing milestone for Intel, reestablishing it at the frontier of logic process technology for its own products, and as a leading-edge CMOS foundry for other fabless vendors. The briefing will also showcase new innovations and changes that Intel has implemented as part of its drive to align its manufacturing process with a more foundry-friendly approach.
