It also says AI 'Cobots,' or collaborative robots, will work alongside humans in future foundries.

Intel held its first big foundry event for media and analysts last week, and the headline was adding Intel 14A to its foundry roadmap. That's essentially the company's 1.4nm process, though it didn't announce when it would arrive. Now that the show is over, it's modifying that announcement by giving it a launch date in 2026 and adding one more node just beyond it by stating that 1nm, or Intel 10A, will come right after in 2027.
Intel gave a briefing to the media about Intel 10A at the show, but due to some confusion about when the embargo over the news would lift, it hasn't come to light until now. Tom's Hardware has posted about the presentation, which shows Intel will continue to pursue a very aggressive node progression strategy even after its "five nodes in four years" campaign theoretically ends in 2025 when Intel 18A arrives. Assuming 1.8nm launches next year, the company will follow it up with 1.4nm in 2026, then leap to 1nm in 2027. If this transpires, the company will likely be ahead of its rival TSMC, which is expected to be on 2nm by 2025 or 2026, with 1.4nm following after that.
