From Tom's Hardware: Intel's fab near Magdeburg, Germany, will not only be the most advanced semiconductor production facility in Europe, but, according to CEO Pat Gelsinger, the most advanced fab in the world when it comes online. The fab will process wafers using post-18A process technologies and will be used to make products both for Intel as well as its Intel Foundry Services customers.
"This will be not only the most advanced manufacturing fab in Germany, the most advanced [chip] manufacturing in the world will occur at the Magdeburg site," Gelsinger said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, broadcast by CNBC. "We are quite excited about getting that underway."
The head of Intel did not specify which of Intel's post-18A process technologies will be adopted in its Magdeburg facility, but only vaguely said they will be on the order of 1.5nm.
"[The Magdeburg fab will be] a cutting-edge fab when it comes online," Gelsinger said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, broadcast by CNBC. "Our most advanced process technology, which are just soon to bring into manufacturing, what we call 18A, sub-2nm. [The Magdeburg fab] will be beyond that. So, this will be on the order of 1.5nm devices that we will build in Magdeburg."
