The certification provides customers with a signoff-ready path to deploy advanced AI, HPC, and mobile SoCs on Intel Foundry's leading-edge nodes, leveraging innovations like RibbonFET transistors and backside power delivery.", "body_md": "Cadence's AI-driven digital and custom reference flows, tools, and solutions are now certified on Intel 18A-P and Intel 14A technologies, based on the latest Intel Foundry process design kits (PDKs). Building on the companies' recent expansion of design IP optimized for Intel 18A and 18A-P and their multi-year Design Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO) agreement targeting Intel 14A, this new certification provides customers with a signoff-ready path to deploy advanced AI, high performance computing (HPC), and mobile SoCs on Intel Foundry's leading-edge nodes.\n\nCadence has worked closely with Intel Foundry to co-optimize tools, flows, and methodologies that fully leverage the innovations in Intel 18A, Intel 18A-P, and Intel 14A, including RibbonFET gate-all-around transistors and advanced backside power delivery technologies such as PowerVia and PowerDirect. By tightly coupling process capabilities with Cadence's agentic AI-driven EDA portfolio and high-performance design IP, customers can achieve industry-leading power, performance, and area (PPA) while reducing design risk and time to market.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pr-cadence-certifies-ai-driven-reference-flows-for-intel-18a-p-and-intel-14a", "canonical_source": "https://www.techpowerup.com/351109/cadence-certifies-ai-driven-reference-flows-for-intel-18a-p-and-intel-14a", "published_at": "2026-07-27 14:12:03+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-27 14:30:24.122915+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-tools", "ai-infrastructure", "ai-chips"], "entities": ["Cadence", "Intel Foundry", "Intel 18A-P", "Intel 14A", "RibbonFET", "PowerVia", "PowerDirect"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pr-cadence-certifies-ai-driven-reference-flows-for-intel-18a-p-and-intel-14a", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pr-cadence-certifies-ai-driven-reference-flows-for-intel-18a-p-and-intel-14a.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pr-cadence-certifies-ai-driven-reference-flows-for-intel-18a-p-and-intel-14a.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pr-cadence-certifies-ai-driven-reference-flows-for-intel-18a-p-and-intel-14a.jsonld"}}
