Such CPUs will be released this year
Intel is simultaneously developing several technological processes at once, wanting to become the second largest semiconductor manufacturer by 2030. At the same time, Intel uses and will continue to use chips created by TSMC in its own CPUs. Now we know which chiplets will be in upcoming Intel products.
Intel introduced processors with as many as 288 cores, but all these cores are small. The formal announcement of the CPU Xeon Sierra Forest took place
Arrow Lake processors, expected in the second half of this year, will be produced using Intel's 20A process technology. This is usually formulated exactly like this, but, as in Meteor Lake, this only applies directly to the processor chiplet. The GPU chiplet for Meteor Lake is produced by TSMC, and for Arrow Lake the situation will be the same, but the process technology will be new — N3. This is quite interesting, since, based on the names of the technical processes of Intel itself, its Intel 20A technical process is supposedly thinner than TSMC's N3, but the latter will still produce the GPU.
Moreover, Lunar Lake, which will be produced according to Intel 18A — and this is the most modern of the company’s technical processes currently being developed — will also have GPUs made by TSMC. In this case, the technical process will remain 3-nanometer, but improved (N3B).
