Intel Foundry and 18A: From IDM 2.0 to a Government-Owned Stake

Intel began its IDM 2.0 strategy in March 2021, retaining in-house manufacturing while creating Intel Foundry Services and funding new Arizona fabs. It set a five-nodes-in-four-years roadmap to Intel 18A, then relaunched the operation as Intel Foundry in 2024, with Microsoft and AWS announcing 18A designs.
