Intel 18A-based new laptop chips face supply shortage reports, testing manufacturing comeback plan

Intel’s next-generation laptop processors are reported to be facing supply shortages from the start of their launch, drawing attention because they are the company’s first major products made on its advanced 18A process. Tech journalist Tim Culpan said contacts at three major PC makers cited shortages of Panther Lake and Wildcat Lake. Intel acknowledged some tight supply but said it is improving, as it pushes its IDM strategy and expands its foundry business.
