During the recent UBS conference, Intel indicated that it would not skip 10 nm to go directly to 7 nm.
“Intel is still on track to deliver the Whitley platform, starting with Cooper Lake production in the first half of 2020, followed by Ice Lake production in the second half of 2020. We are also on track to follow Whitley with Sapphire Rapids delivery in 2021.” Intel reaffirms. – That’s what the Intel spokesman said.
Intel’s 10nm has been the company’s downfall for more than two years. The process in which the company has lost its lead over the industry, 10nm has been in development for quite some time and the various delays have been fatal for the company. Fortunately, however, it seems that the company will finally bring powerful server solutions in the market by the end of 2020, with production starting in the second half of this year. The company also confirmed that it is on track to deliver Sapphire Rapids (and hence the Ponte Vecchio Xe GPU) in 2021.
“So we believe we have a strong position at 14 nanometers. And, of course, by the end of 2020, we will be introducing Ice Lake, our first 10-nanometer server solution that delivers significant performance through basic surface benefits. So overall, I think we have an aggressive roadmap that makes us feel good about competing.”
Commented by Venkata S. M. Renduchintala, President of the Technology Group, Systems Architecture and Customer Group and Director of Engineering at Intel.
The company has no plans to get rid of its 10 nm process. In fact, Intel will double and also bring in its + and ++ improvements. They have achieved this with great success at the 14nm node and should give them more time to prepare for the 7nm. We will keep you informed.
