7 is half node, 4 full node, 3 half, 20A full node again. Moore's law is doubling of transistors density every 2 years. So the roadmap is indeed conservative, just following the Moore's law.
- klelatti 5y agoHow many years to deliver 14 -> 10 in volume? I think you're saying that the incremental half nodes steps are a more conservative approach?
- websg-x 5y ago14->10 was a disaster so we should ignore that, and that the reason Pat Gelsinger is brought back to fixed. TSMC pioneered the half node step, and it was very successful. So yes, I think copying successful strategy is a conservative approach.
- klelatti 5y agoIndeed. It will be interesting to see how this will interact with architecture roll outs - I wasn't entirely clear how that would work from the webcast.
