Chip designer Intel Corporation's 18A semiconductor manufacturing technology is ahead of schedule according to rumors from China. The company is currently spending heavily in order to revive and expand its chip manufacturing. This is a part of a strategy announced by Intel chief Mr. Patrick Gelsinger last year through which the company plans to introduce new manufacturing technologies to the market and expand its production to also allow other companies to submit their designs to Intel for manufacturing.

As part of this strategy, the chipmaker aims to launch a new manufacturing technology each year, with its Intel 4 technology slated to hit the factory floor later this year. However, the competition in the semiconductor fabrication market is fierce, with Intel's primary rival, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) having laid out plans for several advanced process technologies - culminating at the 2-nanometer (nm) semiconductor fabrication node.
