- throwaway2048 8y agoProcess node-size names are more or less semantic marketing games these days anyways. What TSMC calls 7nm is roughly equivalent to what Intel called 10nm. Its likely that Intel will roll out a node at that size, but being forced to abandon their previous attempt is a crushing blow that has set them back years, and will likely set them back years more to come. It takes years to develop a node size, and they have had to throw out most of their work.

- warmwaffles 8y agoPressure from AMD Ryzen is real. Exciting to see this happening again.
- gambiting 8y agoYeah, no kidding. The king of the kings, the 9900K, is only marginally faster than the 2700X in almost every benchmark, with the 2700X being a lot cheaper. If I was building a PC today I would pick AMD without any hesitation.
- tfha 8y agoMost likely it does. They've been taking about skipping 10nm altogether for over a year now.
- Qub3d 8y agoThey've talked about skipping it since 2012: https://youtu.be/NGFhc8R_uO4?t=3072 https://youtu.be/NGFhc8R_uO4?t=3072
