What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
Intel announced a milestone at its New Albany, Ohio fabrication site as the project remains at least five years behind schedule, with the 2025 delivery target moved to 2030 and a second Ohio fab planned for 2031. Arizona 18A production is expected by end-2028, though external customers for 18A have not yet materialized. The results underscore a broader strategy to expand U.S. foundry capacity amid AI demand and TSMC supply constraints, with potential interest from SK hynix for Ohio space.
