>will be built on the Intel 4 process, which was formerly known as Intel’s 7nm process This marketing will never fail to make me cringe.

  Honestly I think converging on the TSMC/Samsung definition of "4nm" is probably a good thing overall for reducing confusion. Now that we're not using planar transistors any more the whole thing is a bit arbitrary but at least we can be standardized.

Yeah, but if I'm not mistaken this actually IS the TSMC 4nm process, and Intel is still a couple years away from mass production of anything EUV. It is getting hard to keep up with the marketing BS. Anyone got confirmation on this being fabbed at TSMC?

      Intel 4 is Intel. The Intel Alchemist GPU dies are fabbed by TSMC and Intel has clearly labeled those as being TSMC N6.

        So is Intel 4 what was originally going to be their 7nm EUV? That would be good news.

          Yes, this new naming scheme was announced with the roadmap back in July.
