正在努力扭转艰难处境的老牌芯片厂英特尔，周四展示了即将亮相的新一代先进制程PC芯片，开始向苹果、高通、AMD、台积电等竞品发 起反击。 公司发布的照片显示， 今年3月履新的CEO陈立武站在亚利桑那工厂门口，捧着一块代号为Panther Lake的新一代酷睿处理器晶圆。 这是 首款采用 英特尔18A工艺（18埃米，即1.8纳米）的芯片 。 上个月的公开活动期间，英特尔高管们也拒绝披露Fab 52的良率情况。但去年底的消息称，英特尔向部分客户透露，其18A工艺的良率尚不 足10%，而竞争对手台积电的2nm芯片良品率已经达到30%。 行业咨询公司Creative Strategies的首席执行官兼首席分析师本·巴亚林表示，英特尔在亚利桑那州展示的18A工艺，必须能说服客户提前 预订其下一代14A芯片制造技术。若未能达到预期，这可能会对英特尔耗资巨大的芯片制造计划造成致命打击，使公司再度陷入危机。 巴贾林说道：" 公司终将面临一个必须抉择的时刻——判断自己到底能不能成功。 " 英特尔曾预期14A技术将在2028年投产，但也警告称，若无法赢得客户，将放弃14A工艺的开发。所以耗资数百亿美元、持续承受巨额亏损 的亚利桑那 ...
