英特尔因巨额亏损推迟关键Xeon数据中心处理器——Clearwater Forest推迟至2026年上半年发布Intel delays key Xeon data center processor amid massive losses — Clearwater Forest pushed back to 1H 2026
➀ 英特尔因巨额亏损和封装技术挑战，将关键数据中心处理器Clearwater Forest的发布推迟至2026年上半年。
➁ 延期被视为英特尔在数据中心市场的竞争地位和其夺回市场份额努力的挫折。
➂ 英特尔公布了财务结果，显示公司亏损严重，并在美国大量投资新工厂和生产能力。
➀ Intel has delayed the release of its key data center processor, Clearwater Forest, to the first half of 2026 due to massive losses and challenges with packaging technology.
➁ The delay is seen as a setback for Intel's competitive position in the data center market and its efforts to regain market share.
➂ Intel's financial results revealed significant losses, with the company investing heavily in new fabs and production capacity in the U.S.
Intel announced that its codenamed Clearwater Forest processor for data centers will only be launched in the first half of 2026, nearly two years after the introduction of its Xeon 6-series CPUs and behind schedule. The delay is attributed to difficulties with Clearwater's packaging technology, despite the underlying 18A process node remaining strong.
The delay comes amidst Intel's unveiling of its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2024 and the entire year, revealing massive losses. The company's revenue for 2024 was $53.1 billion, down 2% year-over-year, while its net loss climbed to $18.8 billion. Intel attributed the losses to major investments in new fabs and production capacity in the U.S.
Intel's financial struggles have raised concerns about its ability to compete in the data center market and its efforts to regain market share. The delay of Clearwater Forest and the cancellation of Falcon Shores AI GPUs are seen as setbacks for the company's competitive posture in the exploding AI market.
