Intel Shifts Majority of "Nova Lake" Production In-House Amid Yield Improvements
Intel plans to manufacture 80-90% of 'Nova Lake-S' compute tiles in-house using its 18A node, shifting away from the previous dual-source plan with TSMC. This strategic pivot is driven by significant improvements in Intel's 18A node yields, which have reached reliable levels. This move reduces TSMC's volume share for this generation, signaling a bullish outlook for Intel Foundry's internal capacity.
