On March 6, John Pitzer, vice president of investor relations at Intel, clarified recent rumors about the delayed release of Panther Lake, the first product based on Intel's 18A process, saying, “Panther Lake is still being released as planned in the second half of this year, and the release schedule has not changed. We are very confident about the current progress.” Until now, there have been rumors on the Internet about the poor yield of the Intel 18A process. In the second half of last year, South Korean media broke the news that Intel's Intel 18A process yield was only 10%, and indicated that Broadcom might have cancelled its cooperation with Intel. The news attracted great attention in the industry at the time.
