$Intel(INTC)$ $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ Ultimately I think by 2030 Intel is right there for the biggest player in this space especially with foundry coming online end of this year and ramping up through 25/26. They literally bought every single high-NA machine ASML produced in 2024. ASML won’t have new machines ready until EOY 25’. Now whether or not customers see a benefit over the regular EUV’s remains to be seen but they gave themselves a year head start over everyone else with this tech. Everything is lining up for 18a to be best in class by a noticeable margin. AMD won’t have similar tech at meaningful production capacity until 26/27. Microsoft clearly believes in 18a. Ditto for Amazon. Department of defence will be joined at the hip. It won’t be tomorrow but it’s coming.
