Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) Turns a $400 Million High-NA Tool Into a Manufacturing Hedge
Intel Corporation has begun high-volume production of a subset of Panther Lake laptop chips using ASML Holding N.V.’s High NA EUV system, making it the first chipmaker to ship a volume logic product with the technology. The more useful signal for investors is what Intel did not do: selected 18A layers are also qualified on ASML’s established NXE platform at matched yields, so Panther Lake is not tied to the new machine.
