Explaining Intel's Clearwater Forest Xeon and Intel 18A with LEGO!

Grab yourself a double-wall insulated tumbler at https://craftcomputing.store Earlier this month, I was invited down to Arizona for the 2025 Intel Tech Tour, along with industry analysts, press and creators to get a sneak peek at Intel's all new Clearwater Forest Xeon CPUs and Panther Lake Mobile CPUs. While two new families of CPUs is big news, I think the bigger news was Intel's 18A Fabrication AND Foveros Direct 3D Packaging Technology is ready to go mainstream. It's been more than half a decade since Intel was competitive in Foundry, and launching a pair of 2nm Processors is the ultimate 'We're Back' statement. But first... What am I drinking???
