Although Intel's focus for this year's CES is to introduce its Core Ultra 3-series 'Panther Lake' processors and laptops, the company's chief executive, Lip-Bu Tan, still used the tradeshow to talk about 14A (1.4nm-class) process technology and reassure potential clients and investors that its development is proceeding well. The CEO's bullish statements marked a sharp reversal from his statements in July that the company would pause or discontinue the node if it didn't secure a customer.
"We are going big time into 14A," said Lip-Bu Tan in an Intel News video on X. "Stay tuned, we are going to see a lot of great momentum on the 14A in terms of yields [and] IP portfolio to serve the customer well."
