        Ericsson recently issued a press release on the launch of a new Radio Access Network (RAN) compute chip designed specifically for 5G Advanced network equipment, based on the Intel 4 (7nm) process. It is worth noting that Intel plans to launch the first Meteor Lake processor using the Intel 4 process on December 14, which means that Ericsson is launching its Intel 4 process products earlier than Intel officials.
 
 
        Ericsson is launching four products, including the RAN processor 6672 and Radio processor 6372 for indoor networks, and the RAN processor 6655 and Radio processor 6355 for outdoor networks.
        Our newly expanded RAN computing portfolio is designed to meet the current and future needs of Ericsson's customers," said Michael Begley, head of RAN Compute at Ericsson. It not only addresses their need to maximize radio spectrum utilization, but also helps them meet the future needs of their networks by supporting the Open RAN architecture. 
        Compared to the previous generation, the Ericsson RAN 6672 processor and 6372 wireless processor offer four times the capacity and twice the power efficiency, supporting up to six 4G and 5G modes in a single package. 
        Ericsson's new computer products consume 30 to 60 percent less power than current industry leaders, and the company has also announced a new high-speed communicator with speeds of 4.8 Tbit/s. 
        Intel has begun mass production of Intel 4 process nodes using extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV). Officially, Intel is moving forward with a "five process nodes in four years" program with strong execution for a new generation of leading-edge products.
        Intel 4 is Intel's first process node to be produced using EUV technology, which "delivers significant improvements" in performance, power efficiency, and transistor density, and will drive applications with the highest computing power requirements, such as AI, advanced mobile networks, autonomous driving, and new data center and cloud applications.
