**Quick take:** At a fireside chat on [October 24](https://technosports.co.in/garena-free-fire-max-redeem-codes-today/), Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan reportedly said he has spoken with AMD’s Lisa Su about possible areas of cooperation. He also said Intel’s 18A is in volume production and the 0.9 version of the 14A process design kit is coming soon.

## What Tan Said

The remarks came at a CASPA event and were reported by [Wccftech](https://wccftech.com/intels-ceo-reportedly-had-a-conversation-with-amds-lisa-su-on-potential-areas-of-collaboration-says-0-9-pdk-on-the-14a-process-coming-soon/). No details of any collaboration were given, so there is no deal to report.

| Topic | Tan’s comment |
| --- | --- |
| AMD | Had a conversation with Lisa Su on exploring potential cooperation |
| 18A process | In volume production |
| 14A process | 0.5 PDK available, 0.9 PDK soon, 1.0 PDK early next year |
| Customers | Multiple customers want to scale their business on 14A, unnamed |
| Leadership goal | Very determined to reclaim CPU leadership |

## Why the PDK Matters

A process design kit gives chip designers the rules and models to design for a manufacturing node. The 0.9 version is a late-stage release that lets customers move toward real chip designs. Other reports put 14A risk production in 2028 and volume production in 2029.

## The Customer Picture

KeyBanc’s channel checks, as reported by Wccftech, suggest Intel has won work for Broadcom switches, Google and Microsoft server CPUs, and NVIDIA gaming GPUs, and may have an Apple deal on 14A. These are analyst claims, not announcements.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Are Intel and AMD partnering?

Not announced. Tan only said he spoke with Lisa Su about possible cooperation.

What is a 0.9 PDK?

A near-final design kit that lets customers prepare real chip designs for a manufacturing process.

Why the PDK Matters?

A process design kit gives chip designers the rules and models to design for a manufacturing node. The 0.9 version is a late-stage release that lets customers move toward real chip designs. Other reports put 14A risk production in 2028 and volume production in 2029.
