Intel has been working on Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Lithography for a long time. The technology may provide Intel an edge in smartphone chipsets, to compete with the likes of Qualcomm and MediaTek.

The evolution of chipsets from the 10nm process to the 7nm process has thrown up unique challenges. Now, parts of the transistors on the chipset are as small as 7 nanometers, while deep ultraviolet light laser used to create them has a wavelength of 193nm. This makes getting the atom-scale accuracy to create efficient processors difficult.

The EUV process created by Intel may be a solution for creating more efficient and quick-performing processors.
One of the factors that will be necessary for EUV adoption is cost. Deep UV plants cost billions of dollars to set up. Converting deep UV plants to EUV is expected to only add to this cost.

The advantage of EUV, seemingly is that it will be a quicker and more accurate process and combined with a large production line, could result in a faster output of microchips – manufacturers will essentially be able to producer much more efficient chipsets with quicker turnaround time.
