Intel: 18A Yield Rate Exceeds Expectations, Foundry Break-Even Outlook Remains Unchanged

Intel CFO David Zinsner stated at the Morgan Stanley TMT Conference that the company's latest Intel 18A process yield ramp-up has slightly exceeded expectations, and the outlook for Intel's foundry business to achieve break-even by the end of 2027 remains unchanged. The company is currently more proactive in sharing data with external partners, allowing them to participate more deeply in process improvement efforts, which has played a key role in yield improvement.
