I'm not entirely convinced that intel with their 10nm (equivalent to TSMC 7nm) will be able to catch up in time to the transition to Intel 7nm,TSMC 5nm unless that process is shortlived. The first 7nm processor, the iPhone XS's A12 was shipped back in fall of 2018 but intel has yet to ship a widely released 10nm so far.
The next process could flip for Intel or TSMC as each process has it's own problems, but for now I would put TSMC much further ahead of Intel in the Intel 10nm/TSMC 7nm battle.
- georgeburdell 7y ago>but intel has yet to ship a widely released 10nm so far. This is not correct. 10nm Ice Lake laptops have been in stores for a quarter or more now. For example: https://www.costco.com/hp-14%22-laptop---10th-gen-intel-core-i7-1065g7---1080p.product.100511530.html https://www.costco.com/hp-14%22-laptop---10th-gen-intel-core...
- dehrmann 7y agoBut where's Comet Lake? The fact that there aren't any 10nm non-mobile Intel Core CPUs makes me think Intel's having production issues.
- skunkworker 7y agowhile there are some lower sub 28 watt chips out there has yet to be a desktop or server chips yet. The ice lake SP 38 core are shipping Q3 AFAIK but those could also slip. As for desktops the recent rumors point to Rocket Lake in 2021 for the first desktop 10nm releases. Intel is playing catch-up here to AMD and it’s showing.
