When it comes to other aspects like SRAM density, high‑performance SRAM cells shrank from 0.03 µm² in Intel 3 to 0.023 µm² in Intel 18A, while high‑density cells contracted to 0.021 µm², reflecting scaling factors of 0.77 and 0.88 respectively and defying previous assumptions that SRAM scaling had plateaued. Intel's innovative "around‑the‑array" PowerVia approach addresses voltage drops and interference by routing power vias to I/O, control, and decoder circuits, freeing up the bit‑cell area from frontal power supplies. The result is a 38.1 Mbit/mm² macro bit density, positioning Intel to rival TSMC's N2.

Intel's 18A Node Outperforms TSMC N2 and Samsung SF2 in 2 nm Performance Class

Intel's 18A node isn't all about yields and density (which are still very important factors) but also performance. According to Taiwanese media 3C News, citing TechInsights research and calculations, the new leader of node performance is Intel 18A. On a custom scale used by TechInsights, Intel...
