Intel began high-volume production of its first Intel 18A products, entered Intel 18A-P risk production in June 2026 and committed to completing Intel 14A development. Manufacturing expansion for 14A is underway, with its scale and pace tied to committed internal demand and significant external-customer design wins.

Intel is extending its AI strategy from processors to systems through Xeon 6+, rack-scale infrastructure combining Xeon processors with SambaNova RDUs, a disaggregated inference ecosystem, purpose-built silicon and vertical solutions spanning manufacturing, healthcare, robotics and other industries.

Intel's restructuring initiative lowers expenses, streamlines organizational layers and reallocates resources toward core client and server businesses by reducing lower-priority programs. Most actions were completed in 2025, with the remainder expected in 2026; Intel's latest outlook targets approximately $16.5 billion of 2026 non-GAAP operating expenses.

Intel is increasing equipment, clean-room and substrate investment to address product and foundry demand. It also announced a €5 billion manufacturing investment to expand capacity for Intel Xeon 6 and next-generation Xeon processors built on Intel 3.
