By the time Intel gets anywhere near the 10nm production volume that TSMC does on 7nm right now, TSMC will probably already be moving to 5nm.
Its also difficult to say that "Intel 10nm competes with TSMC's 7nm" because in so many ways, it doesnt. Ice Lake server was supposed to be out this year with a new microarchitechture (the first since Skylake), but still is nowhere to be seen (though it certainly seems likely the big cloud players already have early silicon).
- MangoCoffee 6y agoagree. AMD 4000 mobile chip already win a lot of praises even tho TSMC 7nm supposed to be inferior compare to Intel 10nm. we are talking about 7nm in production right now compare to Intel still struggling with 10nm and squeezing 14nm forever. its a win for TSMC. by the time Intel 10nm is on mass production, TSMC 5nm or even 3nm will be out.
- wtallis 6y agoIntel's 10nm as originally planned would have been superior to TSMC's original 7nm, if Intel's 10nm had actually been functional. But it didn't work and got cancelled and what they're calling 10nm now is what would have been called "10nm+" if they hadn't renamed their entire roadmap to cover up the failure. I'm not sure how close Intel's shipping 10nm comes to TSMC's original 7nm, but that's rapidly becoming irrelevant now that TSMC's 7nm+ with EUV is up and running.
