The 10nm chip Intel sold last year was bullshit -- low volume and single SKU because it wasn't anything to write home about.
People also keep trying to defend Intel by saying their 10nm is roughly equivalent to the TSMC 7nm, but that's a pretty BS defense seeing as Intel hasn't shipped a real product with it.
Meanwhile TSMC is already working out the kinks on their 5nm process for next year. No matter how you slice it, Intel has fallen behind.
- sufiyan 7y agoIntels 10nm is nowhere as good as TSMC 7nm.
- dfrage 7y agoIn theory is was going to be a bit better than TSMC 7mm, with only 7+nm equaling or exceeding it. In practice, it's slower than Intel 14nm, denser (better be!!), and consumes less power. And has pesky yield issues, Semiaccurate is convinced it'll never be a profitable node.
