My understanding is that Intel is doing OK with smaller die size 10nm (Cannon Lake-U / Ice Lake-U) for Ultrabooks. But for bigger dies such as HEDT or server CPUs, the Ice Lake SP is still pretty much in the air with Intel's vague timeline of "sooner than expected end of 2020" claim.
- happycube 8y agoCannon Lake-U is definitely not OK, the GPU is disabled in all shipping parts, and aside from AVX-512 really isn't much better than the equivalent 14nm part. Ice Lake-U sounds better on paper - at the very least it's a 4C die.
- TazeTSchnitzel 8y agoIsn't that “Ultrabook” part the one with the broken GPU that's shipping only in an obscure variant of a cheap Chinese education-only laptop?
- shorts_theory 8y agoYes, that's the one. Anandtech did a pretty good analysis of Cannonlake here: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13405/intel-10nm-cannon-lake-and-core-i3-8121u-deep-dive-review/ https://www.anandtech.com/show/13405/intel-10nm-cannon-lake-...
- AmVess 8y agoCanon Lake is the opposite of OK. Its turbo modes are much lower than the previous gen, and it clocks itself lower by 600 MHz under the same workloads. Intel's first crack at 10nm was a jaw-dropping affair for how poorly it showed.
