2H26 and 1H27 will be very telling for @intel 14A viability and customer pipeline, but I think we'll see three early signals in 1H26 ahead of official customer win announcements: - 18A yield trend - Panther Lake benchmarks and performance - early inflections in CAPEX

It's also worth remembering, as Panther Lake comes out and reviews come in around CPU performance, that's good for Clearwater Forest and 18A as a fab Same process and core design. If PL is good, it speaks to their other businesses as well.

Intel, like TSMC, was only capped in revenue upside by supply/capacity to meet demand. Most estimates for Intel revenue couldn't account for their wafer capacity so didn't fully know the constraint. CPU demand is off the charts and Intel is likely to be constrained through 26'

$INTC CFO Dave Zinsner tells me don't expect 14A foundry customer announcements until back half of year. The real signal will be increased capex on 14A - CEO LBT is holding back spending until customers commit. “Once we get them, we're going to need to start spending capital.”
