I would think the Cannonlake delay is more about HVAC / Clean Room environmental controls for particles at 10nm than the actual chip fab.

- pjc50 11y agoWhy do you think that?
- astrodust 11y agoThat only affects yield, and the lithography process is largely the same, so nope.
- MikeNomad 11y agoYeah, the litho process is largely the same. Thanks for furthing the idea I was trying to get across: The hang up is not in the production process, it's in the environmental controls. To put it another way, if I manufacture on a smaller die size, I have to control for smaller pieces of junk in the air. If I don't, I will get poor (read, not cost effective) yields, making production in that environment a bad business decision.
