Intel Commits to 14A Mass Production in 2028 Amidst 25% Revenue Increase
Key points
- Intel's Q2 2026 revenue reached $16.1 billion, up 25% year-over-year.
- Intel commits to 14A (1.4nm-class) mass production in 2028 for internal products.
- Risk production for 14A is planned for the second half of 2027.
- Intel currently has no external customers committed to using its 14A technology.
Intel's Q2 2026 Financial Performance
Intel reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2026, achieving a revenue of $16.1 billion. This represents a 25% increase compared to the same period last year, driven by strong demand for its client and data center products. The reported revenue exceeded the midpoint of Intel's guidance by $1.8 billion.
Commitment to 14A Process Technology
During its earnings call, Intel announced a full commitment to high-volume manufacturing (HVM) using its 14A (1.4nm-class) fabrication technology in 2028. This decision was made in Q2 2026 due to significant demand for Intel's internal CPUs. The company plans to initiate 14A risk production for its internal products in the second half of 2027.
Industry Context and Customer Status
The timeline for Intel's 14A mass production in 2028 is consistent with TSMC's plans for its A14 process technology. Typically, HVM begins approximately one year after risk production. While Intel will use 14A for its own products, it currently does not have external customers committed to utilizing this technology for their products. TSMC, in contrast, claims multiple customers have already taped out ICs on its A14 node.
