The key thing that caused Intel to be in this situation right now was that their EUV play totally failed. If it had succeeded when they hoped it would, they would be so far ahead of the competition that none of this would matter.

- Jweb_Guru 6y agoI don't recall saying a single thing about 10nm.
- throwaway2048 6y agoThere was never an EUV play they were making that would have catapulted them far ahead at this point.
- Jweb_Guru 6y agoPrior to 2015, Intel believed they would have production ready, 7nm chips by 2018 using EUV, which would indeed have catapulted them far ahead of the competition. Obviously, many people were skeptical about this, but if it had worked out I don't think we'd be having this conversation, nor would people have cared about them missing the 10nm target.
