ASML NXE enables 18A Panther Lake bigger TLB.

Intel also notes that the move to the 18A process gave it the ability to grow some fundamental structures in Cougar Cove, and the TLB was one of the primary beneficiaries. A bigger TLB means that more complex workloads run faster and more reliably, according to Intel.

Copilot:
“…and the TLB was one of the primary beneficiaries.” A TLB (Translation Lookaside Buffer) caches virtual-to-physical memory translations.
  • A bigger TLB means fewer misses.

  • Fewer misses mean fewer expensive page-table walks.

  • That directly improves performance on complex, memory-intensive workloads.

This is analogous to the page’s point that better lithography tools enable more capable chip structures.
