    Intel gives first look at next-gen chips, says Arizona fab is fully operational

    Intel on Thursday announced its new PC chips slated to debut in laptops next year as the chipmaker battles to turn around its struggling business.

    The company said the new Panther Lake processor is made with its 18A technology and is the most advanced node made on U.S. soil.

    The new generation of chips will be made at Intel’s Fab 52 facility in Arizona, which the company said is now fully operational and set to ramp production.

    “The United States has always been home to Intel’s most advanced R&D, product design and manufacturing – and we are proud to build on this legacy as we expand our domestic operations and bring new innovations to the market,” CEO Lip-Bu Tan said in a release announcing the news.

    Intel is also building its Xeon 6+ servers equipped with 18A processors at the site. Those will debut in the first half of 2026.
