Intel continues to develop and introduce new platforms. While we await the imminent departure of Kaby Lake-X and Skylake-X and the future Coffee Lake. This time it’s about Ice Lake. The new 10nm processors that will replace Cannon Lake, whose production will begin later this year.
In this way Ice Lake becomes the second generation of CPUs in 10nm of the company, being Cannon Lake the first. Basically, the building blocks of the design are in the later stages. This leads to nothing starting the physical production of the initial wafer samples, followed by mass production.
