Intel's tick-tock development cadence [1]will not return . CEO Lip-Bu Tan said during the company's Q3 2025 earnings call that the 18A process node will be a "long-lived node" powering at least three generations of client and server products. Intel reported its first profit in nearly two years, aided by financial support from Nvidia, Softbank, and the US government.
The company faces chip shortages that will peak in the first quarter of next year. CFO David Zinsner said Intel is prioritizing AI server chips over consumer processors. Intel will launch only one Panther Lake SKU this year and roll out others in 2026. Zinsner called Panther Lake "pretty expensive" and said Intel will push Lunar Lake chips "in at least the first half of the year."

"The company faces chip shortages..."
I think I found the problem. See, Intel, you guys are supposed to SELL chips, not buy them.
It was an honest mistake, but it's good we caught it. I will take my consulting fee in cash, check, or credit.
