Despite Intel seemingly already struggling to stick to its latest round of radical roadmap promises, what with Meteor barely making its 2023 launch window, here comes CEO Pat Gelsinger sextupling down on the whole "five nodes in four years" thing and admitting that the culmination of that relentless schedule is the biggest bet the company has ever made.
In an interview with Stratechery, Gelsinger is speaking specifically of 18A, the production process that qualifies as number five in Intel's accelerated roadmap. Intel 7 we already have in Alder Lake and Raptor Lake CPUs, Intel 4 arrives at the end of the year with Meteor Lake, then's there's 20A and last and most definitely not least, it's 18A.
