With TSMCs ever increasing prices it's good to see 18a is no fluke.

Don't hold your breath on that making prices any better, even if it is cheaper the change is going to go to intels (and possible customers of the foundry) margins and not to lowering the price for us.

Intel kept promising Panther Lake was on track for a 2025 launch, with a wider release in 2026. That sounded similar to how Meteor Lake launched so I believed it. I should've believed the rumors.

Still at least it's finally coming.

I like that Intel is prioritizing low power for normal use for mobile chips. I think everyone shopping for a mobile device knows that they could get a little more real world performance if they opted to buy a larger, louder device with worse battery life, but the drawbacks are more tangible than the benefits by doing so.

Also if they can make these run at decent clocks in the power envelope of Lunar Lake that would be a really impressive showing for 18A. But they are only hinting at that and not making concrete promises yet.
