Panther Lake teardown reveals Intel 18A in detail — TSMC still leads in density

[Redaktion]

SemiAnalysis has taken Intel's Panther Lake apart, showing how the company's 18A process combines RibbonFET gate-all-around transistors with PowerVia backside power delivery. The analysis finds that 18A delivers logic density similar to TSMC's N3E, but does not yet give Intel a clear manufacturing lead over TSMC's newer nodes.
