Intel (INTC) on Thursday took the wraps off its new Core Ultra series 3 processor, code-named Panther Lake, the company's first chip built using its long-gestating 18A process technology.

The chip is also the first processor to be manufactured at Intel's newly opened Fab 52 plant in Arizona. Intel said its 18A process is the world's most advanced process technology researched, developed, and built in America.
