Intel’s CEO says Intel’s 14A node (1.4nm-class) is production‑ready in 2027, with PDKs for external customers arriving soon, new 2nd‑gen RibbonFET transistors, PowerDirect power delivery, and Turbo Cells. The company explicitly hopes to win at least one substantial external foundry customer—reversing the 18A outcome where external demand was minimal.
— A commercially viable Intel 14A node would materially change AI compute supply, lower geopolitical concentration in advanced fabs, and reshape industrial policy, energy demand and competition in the chip ecosystem.
