　　Intel will build new kinds of experiences for the 2018-2024 Olympic games using virtual reality, 5G cellular and drones, the chip maker announced. It becomes the thirteenth partner of the games and the fifth tech partner following Alibaba, GE, Panasonic and its closest rival, Samsung.

　　The events will showcase Intel’s work in a handful of emerging technologies including live streaming video with its 360-degree cameras, 5G and machine learning. As part of an event announcing the deal, Intel broadcast a video stream from its headquarters using one of its prototype 28 GHz 5G base stations.

　　Intel chief executive Brian Krzanich promised, “whole new ways fans and athletes can view and participate in the games…Around the world there are millions and millions of people who have never had a chance to go to the Olympics, and our goal is to bring it to anyone.

　　“This is not just about flops per watt in some device somewhere, it’s about changing the experience and bringing it to more people…[with] more compelling and immersive experiences,” he added.

　　The partnership makes sense for Intel at a time when the company is seeking an identity as a technology leader apart from the slumping PC. Krzanich has showcased the company’s work on VR, 360-degree video and drones regularly in past keynotes and professional sports events.

　　Burnishing the company profile is particularly strategic at a time of slowing growth and consolidation in the semiconductor industry. With the current rise in prices of memory chips, rival Samsung may surpass Intel this year for the first time as the largest chip maker in the world.

　　Intel’s 3D video, newly branded True VR, is one of the highlights of the deal. The company will bring the capability to 16 live and 16 on-demand games including ski jumping and figure skating at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

　　VR headsets let users choose angles from which they watch an event in stereoscopic 3D. It supports live streaming and digitally computing an angle such as hovering over a favorite player.

　　True VR uses a network of up to 38 360-degree cameras, each using a dozen high definition 5K cameras. Mobile production units stitch the streams into 180-degree images and uploads them t a data center for live streaming.

　　The Olympics marks an extension of the technology for Intel. It has already offered the capability at select NCAA basketball, National Football League and Major League Baseball events in the U.S.

Intel 18A Yields Up 7%–8% Monthly as 2H26 Customers Expected; Said to Push 18A CPUs Amid Shortages

　　Intel’s turnaround appears to be gaining momentum. According to CNBC, Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan said the company’s foundry business is making progress, with 18A process yields now improving by 7% to 8% per month, signaling advancement from earlier challenges.　　More significantly, Tan said the improvements are beginning to attract customer interest, with Intel expecting commitments from multiple foundry customers in the second half of 2026, the report highlights. The remarks align with earlier comments from CFO David Zinsner, who said signals from external foundry customers would become “more concrete” in the second half of the year and into early 2027.　　Intel Reportedly Pushes 18A CPUs Amid Supply Tightness　　Recent CPU shortages have also brought renewed attention to Intel, which is reportedly promoting processors built on its 18A technology. According to Nikkei, sources say Intel is encouraging key PC partners across the U.S., China, and Taiwan to increase adoption of CPUs produced using the process, which only became available late last year.　　Sources add that the company has prioritized supply of chips based on its older Intel 7 process for server and industrial applications. Intel’s push to promote its most advanced chips comes as it seeks to capitalize on the AI race and regain leadership in advanced chipmaking, the report adds.　　14A Seen as Intel’s Next Push Against TSMC　　Beyond 18A, according to CNBC, Tan said Intel’s next-generation 14A process could eventually compete with TSMC, adding that it is expected to arrive around the same time as TSMC’s comparable technology — a development he described as a “major, major breakthrough.” As noted by Wccftech, Tan said Intel expects risk production for its 14A technology in 2028, followed by volume production in 2029, placing its timeline alongside TSMC’s. He added that multiple customers are already engaging with Intel as the company has made its 0.5 PDK available.　　EMIB Shows Early Customer Commitment as Substrate Prepayments Emerge　　Another major technology highlighted by Lip-Bu Tan is EMIB, which he described as one of the most advanced chip packaging technologies. According to Wccftech, Tan said customer commitment has become evident, with some customers even prepaying for substrates to secure supply amid ongoing shortages.　　Wccftech notes that EMIB was recently said to have reached 90% yields. By contrast, Commercial Times notes that TSMC’s CoWoS currently mass-produced 5.5-reticle-size version — the world’s largest today — has already achieved yields of 98%.

First Intel Wildcat Lake Laptops Near Launch; Reportedly Built on 18A, Taking Aim at Apple’s MacBook Neo

　　The first laptops powered by Intel’s “Wildcat Lake” Core Series 300 processors for the entry-level PC segment are reportedly nearing launch. According to Wccftech, Intel Core Series 3 laptops could hit retail shelves as early as next week, with initial models including 14-inch and 16-inch designs from Honor and ASUS, while more OEMs are expected to follow.　　Chinese media outlet Mydrivers notes that the Honor Notebook X14 2026 Combat Edition will be the first commercially available laptop based on Intel’s Wildcat Lake platform, featuring an Intel Core 5 320 processor. Another Wccftech report notes that the device comes with 16GB of LPDDR5X 7467 MT/s memory, double the capacity of Apple’s MacBook Neo, along with a 512GB SSD. By comparison, the Neo starts at 256GB of storage and tops out at 512GB.　　Intel’s Wildcat Lake Targets AI PCs With Better Battery Life　　The SoC package integrates two dies, with the primary die built on Intel’s 18A node, according to TechPowerUp. This die features a 6-core CPU configuration, NPU 5 delivering 40 TOPS of INT8 performance, and a GPU with up to two Xe3 cores. It also integrates the memory controller and cache pool. Meanwhile, Intel dedicates the second die to I/O functions, the report adds.　　Wccftech notes that Intel’s Core Series 3 emphasizes AI capability and battery efficiency, marking the company’s first hybrid AI-ready Core Series processor. The report adds that the chips are designed for all-day battery life and everyday productivity, offering up to 2.1 times faster creation and productivity performance, up to 64% lower processor power consumption, and up to 2.7 times higher AI GPU performance compared with previous-generation Intel Core 7 150U processors.　　Looking ahead, Wildcat Lake could see broader adoption across future devices. TechPowerUp reports that Google is likely to pair its rumored “Googlebook” laptops with Intel’s latest Core Series 300 “Wildcat Lake” processors. However, Intel is not expected to be the exclusive platform provider, with Qualcomm and MediaTek also said to be among Google’s partners.

Intel’s Next Gen CPU to Produce at TSMC with 3nm in First Half of Next Year

　　Intel’s upcoming Lunar Lake platform has entrusted TSMC with the 3nm process of its CPU. This marks TSMC’s debut as the exclusive producer for Intel’s mainstream laptop CPU, including the previously negotiated Lunar Lake GPU and high-speed I/O (PCH) chip collaborations. This move positions TSMC to handle all major chip orders for Intel’s crucial platform next year, reported by UDN News.　　Regarding this news, TSMC refrained from commenting on single customer business or market speculations on November 21st. Intel has not issued any statements either.　　Recent leaks of Lunar Lake platform internal design details from Intel have generated discussions on various foreign tech websites and among tech experts on X (formerly known as Twitter). According to the leaked information, TSMC will be responsible for producing three key chips for Intel’s Lunar Lake—CPU, GPU, and NPU—all manufactured using the 3nm process. Orders for high-speed I/O chips are expected to leverage TSMC’s 5nm production, with mass production set to kick off in the first half of next year, aligning with the anticipated resurgence of the PC market in the latter half of the year.　　While TSMC previously manufactured CPUs for Intel’s Atom platform over a decade ago, it’s crucial to note that the Atom platform was categorized as a series of ultra-low-voltage processors, not Intel’s mainstream laptop platform. In recent years, Intel has gradually outsourced internal chips, beyond CPUs, for mainstream platforms to TSMC, including the GPU and high-speed I/O chips in the earlier Meteor Lake platform—all manufactured using TSMC’s 5nm node.　　Breaking from its tradition of in-house production of mainstream platform CPUs, Intel’s decision to outsource to TSMC hints at potential future collaborations. This move opens doors to new opportunities for TSMC to handle the production of Intel’s mainstream laptop platforms.　　It’s worth noting that the Intel Lunar Lake platform is scheduled for mass production at TSMC in the first half of next year, with a launch planned for the latter half of the year, targeting mainstream laptop platforms. Unlike the previous two generations of Intel laptop platforms, Lunar Lake integrates CPU, GPU, and NPU into a system-on-chip (SoC). This SoC is then combined with a high-speed I/O chip, utilizing Intel’s Foveros advanced packaging. Finally, the DRAM LPDDR5x is integrated with the two advanced packaged chips on the same IC substrate.
