Intel says new ASML machines are in production, with positive results

Intel on Monday said that the first two cutting-edge lithography machines from ASML Holding are "in production" at its factories, with early data indicating they are more reliable than earlier models. At a conference in San Jose, California, Intel senior principal engineer Steve Carson said Intel has produced 30,000 wafers, the large discs of silicon that can yield thousands of computing chips, in a single quarter with ASML's high numerical aperture (NA) lithography machines.
