(PR) Cadence Certifies AI-Driven Reference Flows for Intel 18A-P and Intel 14A

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. 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.

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. Cadence 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.
