To recoup development costs of its 18A and 20A process technologies — which will enter high-volume production 18 – 24 months ahead of competing production nodes from TSMC and Samsung Foundry — Intel must gain third-party customers. Apparently, the company is succeeding in this. According to Gelsinger, at least one of IFS's customers is so confident of Intel's 18A fabrication technology that it has made a considerable prepayment to allocate capacity.
為了收回其 18A 和 20A 製程技術的開發成本（這些技術將比台積電和三星代工廠的競爭生產節點提前 18 至 24 個月進入大批量生產），英特爾必須贏得第三方客戶。顯然，該公司在這方面取得了成功。Gelsinger 表示，IFS 的至少一位客戶對英特爾的 18A 製造技術非常有信心，以至於支付了相當大的預付款來分配產能。
