Something serious is happening at Intel's foundries because this news refutes everything they've been saying for a year. They said Nova Lake would be with the Intel 18A node, and now part of the chip will be manufactured by TSMC at the N2 node along with AMD ZEN 6, hahahahaha. It's normal that people don't buy Intel products, and they don't trust their factories. AMD will once again surpass Intel in 2026 with better products and better microarchitecture in its processors. Intel, you've had four disastrous years, being surpassed by the competition, and nobody wants to buy Intel products. Get your act together, Intel, or you'll lose everything.
A new report from a Taiwanese news outlet says Intel plans to use TSMC's N2 node for Nova Lake's CPU tile. This comes shortly after it used the current-gen N3B node for Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake.
