Apple Plans Transition to 1.4-Nanometer Silicon in 2028 Apple is poised to transition from 2-nanometer to 1.4-nanometer silicon architecture for its premium 2028 iPhone models, as detailed in an extensive Bloomberg report regarding Apple's future hardware roadmap. While the primary semiconductor supplier, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), will fabricate the vast majority of Apple's forthcoming A22 Pro processors, the technology giant is reportedly contemplating enlisting Intel for supplementary manufacturing.

Intel memproyeksikan teknologi proses 14A miliknya mampu bersaing ketat dengan node A14 TSMC melalui peningkatan performa hingga 20%.

Apple's possible Intel chip deal could open a second manufacturing lane beyond TSMC, but the product scope and timeline for future devices remain unclear.

Intel has confirmed CPU price increases of 10–15% for OEMs as AI data center demand stretches lead times to months, with AMD and others following suit.

Intel and LG Display have achieved nearly 27 hours of battery life in a Dell XPS 16, beating Apple MacBooks with Panther Lake and a 1Hz LCD.

Intel has staked its 2026 turnaround on 18A and 14A process nodes, with Panther Lake, Nova Lake, and Diamond Rapids all facing tight execution windows.

NVIDIA has reportedly halted testing of Intel's 18A node, dealing a blow to the foundry just as the US government has converted grants into an $8.9 billion equity stake.

Intel has reportedly won a contract to manufacture Apple's low-end M-series chips, validating its 18A process and breaking TSMC's monopoly.

Intel's new CEO has mandated an organizational overhaul with job cuts starting Q2, aiming to boost efficiency amid financial struggles and competitive pressure.

New Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan has reportedly initiated plans for layoffs exceeding 20% of staff, aiming to cut bureaucracy ahead of the Q1 earnings call.

Intel's new CEO Lip-Bu Tan has flattened the company's structure and appointed Sachin Katti as CTO/AI chief to drive innovation.

Intel's incoming CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, plans to overhaul the company's chip manufacturing operations and AI strategies to counter financial setbacks.
