02:40 PM EDT, 05/19/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Intel ( INTC ) is urging notebook and personal computer makers to increase adoption of central processing units built on its latest 18A production process as demand for artificial intelligence computing strains processor supply, Nikkei Asia reported on Tuesday.

The company has told clients supply availability is better for newer Panther Lake and Wildcat Lake chips than processors built on older manufacturing technologies, according to the report.

Intel ( INTC ) 7-based CPUs, including Alder Lake and Raptor Lake models, remain under pressure, with Intel ( INTC ) prioritizing supply toward higher-margin server and industrial applications, Nikkei reported.
