I doubt Intel can pull off another die shrink after the 10nm disaster. It was supposed to come out three years ago IIRC and they have sunk incredibly amounts of money into the process node. The next node will take longer purely on Intel being more careful.
- szatkus 7y agoProcesses aren't dependant on previous ones. For example AMD screwed up with 65nm, but 45nm were just fine (although under GloFo, but the work had started much earlier). If the next process won't work their only option would be to switch to TSMC.
- mamon 7y ago7nm process is already in preparation, with the launch scheduled to 2021, and Intel says they are on track, actually very happy with their progress. They worked on both processes in parallel.
- qes 7y agoIntel's 7nm is also smaller than TMSC's 7nm.
