Intel's Core Ultra laptop chip is hot. So says Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger. No not that kind of hot, but instead selling like hotcakes, apparently. Despite that Intel's latest forecasts were below expectations as the firm continues the battle to turn its fortunes around.with analysts, Intel said it expects revenues for the next quarter to hit around $12.5B to $13.5B, lower than the $13.61B the investment analyst community was expecting.
Gelsinger likewise claimed that Intel is on track to deliver on its promise to deliver five new chip production nodes in just four years."Job number one was to accelerate our efforts to close the technology gap that was created by over a decade of underinvestment. The heart of Phase 1 was five nodes in four years. The rallying cry was torrid. It combined accelerating our node transitions with improving our product execution and cadence to regain customer trust," he said.
That needs to be remembered when Intel bigs up the release of products like Arrow Lake, based on the new 20A node and due later this year, or Panther Lake on 18A next year. According to Intel's own foundry forecasts, which are presumably ambitious rather than pessimistic, we're still years away from Intel making chips on Intel 4, Intel 20A and Intel 18A in really big numbers.are glorified test chips for new nodes that are still years away from being fit for truly high volume production.
