How is GF's 7nm process in comparison to Intel's 10nm process? Is Intel still much denser like with 14nm vs the rest of "14nm"?

- zellyn 9y agoThere's a handy table in the article comparing them.
- awalton 9y agoTake a look at the table in the article; most everyone who is calling their next process "7nm" is roughly on par with Intel's 10nm process that they just booted up to mass production. The nm wars are worse than the MHz wars because chip foundries are so reluctant to publish process details, but suffice it to say that Intel hasn't given up as much ground as companies like GF and Samsung would rather you believe.
- indolering 9y agoArs has a nice review[0] of the process improvements that Intel has invested in. 0: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/03/intel-is-keeping-moores-law-alive-by-making-bigger-improvements-less-often/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/03/intel...
- baq 9y agoarticle table tl;dr: intel is roughly similar and in production right now, tsmc should be too, GF and samsung are at least 6 months out, probably a year or more ('risk production date').
