I hope Intel succeeds at 1.4 and manages to provide sufficient capacity. AFAIK, they are doing 1.8 at their research fab in Oregon, not sure how many wafers it can crank out per month but hopefully they'll manage to transfer the tech to a real fab when demand increases. I've lost track of Intel's fab cancellations and restarts, I'm not even sure if they have a (near) completed production fab with EUV in place. |

Did not realize most of the actual production was still at 4nm range. Apparently mostly Fab 34, Leixlip, Ireland (4nm, 3nm, Meteor Lake). Actually thought it was somewhere in Malaysia or America. "Normal" EUV manufacturing. [1][2]

Apparently, Fab 52 has started making stuff (1.8nm, High-NA EUV, Panther Lake), yet they're still in try-out and testing mode, and not really production. Working fab though. [3]

Wikipedia stuff listed looks kind of weird frankly. Seems like they send them all the way to Malaysia for packaging. Also, really severe difference between 22nm/14nm/10nm sites (9 different sites with at least one size, 4 with all three sizes) and 7nm/4nm/3nm/2nm/1.8nm/1.4nm. Nothing listed on 7nm, only 1 listed 4nm/3nm, 2nm got scrapped, only listing 1.8nm, and 1.4nm. They apparently moved a bunch of stuff around also to be more confusing. 10nm became Intel7 and 7nm became Intel4. [4]
