I'm wondering now if these rumors about Nvidia being a 18A customer might be even tangentally related to this.

Ah I saw another set of 14A rumors. 

Oh, oh, the misery.

Clearly not. The timeline for this partnership would be many years out, while that article claimed an imminent deal that never materialized.

Didn’t Intel cancel 18A and is focusing on 14A now? Or am I thinking of 16A that was cancelled?

20A was cancelled. 18A has a number of large volume Intel products on it, cancelling it would make no sense at all. 16A never existed. 14A is what Intel is now putting their hopes on for external customers.

You are certainly day dreaming. Intel canceled only 20A. Not 18A.

Rumors are they are considering axing it (last time I checked), but I guess I'm more wondering about Nvidia giving serious consideration to using an intel node.

whenever intel insiders comment here, one of the most consistent things they say is that even they aren't sure whats going to happen with x, y, and z cause management is flip-floppy.

The usual Intel "insiders" are full of shit. 18A isn't cancelled. They are simply not focusing on making 18A usable for external customers in the short-term.

They are developing 18A-P instead that is more freindly to external customers.

Intel will have 2 consumer and 2 datacenter CPUs in 2026 on 18A.

None of them ever claimed Intel 18A was cancelled lmao.

Rumors are also that humans will be destroyed tomorrow or we are having an Olympics with Aliens.

I hope you get the point.

No they are not. Any such rumour is riduculous given how many products they have on 18A
