Intel turns to next-generation ASML tool to help make its laptop chips

Intel has decided ​to use a high-end ​machine from ASML to manufacture some of its ​flagship Panther Lake laptop chips, ASML said on Tuesday, a move that will help the chipmaker learn to use the tool more effectively.

Following ‌experiments that ⁠began in ⁠2024, Intel has begun to use ASML’s next-generation high numerical aperture (High ​NA) extreme ultraviolet (EUV) machines, which print circuit patterns on to microchips, to help ​produce a portion of its Panther Lake processors, ASML said.
