Not really. Intel 14nm is better than TSMC 10nm. The processes are way way way more complicated than can be distilled down into a single number. And the number has become a marketing number. So yeah, Intel 10nm is perhaps somewhat comparable to TSMC 7nm.
But what is "High volume production" really? This is another marketing term! Intel has produced and sold a couple 10nm chips, though they are hard to find. TSMC 7nm chips are not in any consumer's hands yet. We'll have to wait and see ...
- glasshead969 9y agoWe can probably expect 7nm in consumer hands this fall with iPhones. If thats the case, they are probably pretty close to High volume production.
- 40acres 9y agoHigh volume in this case indicates that the product has reach a high level of quality in terms of defects per million and yield. 10nm is probably in the customer sampling phase, HVM means you can go to Best buy and get a 10nm laptop.
