t’s not that Intel can’t manufacture anything on this node; it’s been sampling 10nm chips for awhile now. It’s just that the yields have been too poor to warrant widespread commercial production. Apparently, the company’s 10nm Cannon Lake mobile CPU is shipping (in low volume) with its on-chip GPU disabled due to manufacturing issues that couldn’t be resolved. Devices that use this chip will require an external GPU top500.org/news/intel-on-defensive-again-regarding-chip-manufacturing-plans/
The manufacturing problems stem from the fact that as geometries shrink, the structures have become more three-dimensional, requiring more complex manufacturing steps. Also, wire resistance has increased, necessitating new materials and techniques. Intel has not made the transition to EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography, which could significantly reduce the number of masks required during manufacturing, but EUV has its own technical challenges and related costs. Intel has been quite conservative about moving EUV into its commercial processes and at this point, the earliest we expect to see the technology will be in its 7nm node sometime in the early part of the next decade.
7nm intel at some point in the next decade
holy fucking shit this is beyond hilarious

Intel losing its shit after ryzen launched season 1 episode 5
Intel has GPU plans... Intel GTX Woodscrews incoming?
John Allen
Intel has basically been DOA since Broadwell/14nm was delayed/mostly cancelled. They only got by due to no one else competing, until AMD came in and fucked their shit with a competent arch.
>oracle is buying ebyn. it's over, intel is finished.
Isaac Flores
>10nm is 2020 now! Not exactly denying that to be the case, but the article is talking about Ice Lake, which is supposedly the second-generation 10 nm chips after Cannon Lake, and Cannon Lake is still "officially supposed" to be out for late 2019. Whether that turns out to be the case is a different question.
I think Intel's statement that they are currently spending a billion USD ramping up their 14nm node tells us all we need to know about the viability of their 10nm node. Intel CPU prices are currently inflated to the point here the i5-8400 will cost you twice as much as a Ryzen 5 1600 and these are comparable CPUs performance-wise. Intel's obviously got some serious production-issues. Would they be trying to solve these by throwing a billion USD into increased 14nm production if they thought they would be able to do volume on their 10nm node any time soon?
Liam Butler
See No 10 nanomemes until 2020. And whatever they deliver will likely be gimped to the point it's more like 12nm.

Yet AMD is sinking like a ship while intel keeps going up.
>No 10 nanomemes until 2020. To be fair, this is nothing they haven't previously gone public with. They've already said 10 nm in 2019 for consumer products, and 2020 for servers.
Doesn't make it any better, of course, but it isn't news. (Doesn't necessarily make it true, either.)
Cooper Ross
>implying I don't have shares in AMD Granted i sold at around 26 but I bought back in with the recent dip.
>AMD shills who own AMD stock try to ramp up Intel's 10nm woes in a lame and futile attempt to manipulate the market >its literally fake news >AMD shills see AMD stock nuke itself instead (lol
>I don't know how the stock market works yes we can see that user
Julian Stewart
isn't the amd stock dog shit at the moment? What's gonna drive it up?
Christopher Clark
>dog shit lol AMD has their investor call on Nov 6 where they're going to disclose details on Zen2 and the rest of their 7nm parts.
Logan Stewart
>10nm mobile chip >no iGPU what's the point?
Charles Brooks
Where's the sales gonna come from? crypto is finished, intel has pulled every favor to keep costumers from buying epyc. I seriously doubt that the consumers will drive the sales despite amd having a better product
Hudson Russell
Who do you think you're kidding? EPYC has won significant marketshare, so have their consumer Ryzen parts. That trend isn't going to stop.
Josiah Ramirez
>EPYC has won significant marketshare please link me I haven't been able to find anything that would suggest this.
Alexander James
My man, if AMD delivers EVEN a 5% increase in IPC and clocks with zen 2 intel is fucking done for.
A 8-core zen part at 3.9-4.5 (coffee lake equivalent of 4.1-4.7) will ruin intel and drive consumer demand for cooler higher performance zen processors through the roof especially with OEMs.
This. >yfw Intel and AMD have near identical IPC through identical fabs
Ian Taylor
Bribes are cheaper
Ethan Lopez
amd drone here. I'm actually kinda sad about this. I've never even dreamed about this kind of incompetence. It means that everyone involved in making descision in the last 5 years at intel was only in for the money, the quick money grab that is. they could have continued to ride the jew train for another 15 years, but got too greedy in the end. pathetic.
10nm should be a writeoff at this point. The method they use sucks ass compared to EUV.
Adrian Phillips
Honestly, I'll be surprised if Intel don't become a fabless company before they can even implement a sustainable 10nm. I reckon at this point they're just delaying news to investors.
Asher Long
They could go fabless if they split off their fabs. It'd be too much of a loss to just dump them.
Elijah Sanders
Intel will never let their major processors be fabricated by a competitor, that would sink investor confidence to a new low. The meme that Intel will just send their i7s and i9s to TSMC to cuck AMD have no idea what the fuck they are talking about.
What they will most likely do is pay off TSMC, Samsung or even Global Foundries for licensing of their lithography. It will still take Intel no less than 12-18 months to work around that design for their own processor. That means if Intel paid off TSMC or Samsung today for their 7nm process we wouldn't see the i9 10900k until 2020.
The real redpill is that Intel's 10nm has been killed off years ago and the 10nm they are working now is vastly different from the original 10nm idea they had in 2014-2015. Intel still refuses to ride the EUV train but sooner or later they will be forced to invest billions into it.
Ryan Parker
>10nm is 2020 now! dont forget, it's Q4 2020
Adrian James
as if tsmc will invest on a non euv process specifically for intel in the first place
Christopher Baker
Intel fabricates far more dense than anybody else you monkeys. You don't simply shrink 500mm^2 to under 100mm^2 overnight.
Charles Martin
Intel's 10nm process that they originally outlined is less dense than TSMC's early 7nm. TSMC's 7nm EUV will further reduce die area by about 17%. Traditionally intel held a large advantage in SRAM cell size, but they fell behind even there.
Now intels 10nm node has relaxed pitches and density is even further behind the rest of the industry. They've got nothing going for them right now in their foundry business.
Parker Scott
What's stopping intel just hopping on TSMC and completely obliterating AMD?
Carter Harris
everything is designed around Intel's fabs
Joshua Ortiz
Intel showing the entire industry that they have to abandon their own foundry business would send their stock plummeting. Its also not like you can just send a design to any fab and have them make it over night. Their designs for their CPUs are modeled in software that contains design rules for a specific process. They would have to redo everything in order to port that over to another foundry, it'd be a year or more of intensive work.
Benjamin Roberts
I see, so they're really up shit creek without a paddle. I like it. The only thing that depresses me is that normies and many GAYMURZ are so stupid that they'll continue buying intel even when amd overtakes them.
Eli Wright
holy shit I would be dumping INTC stock right now
buy AMD you faggots they're going to kill Intel next go around
Jeremiah Long
Brand perception is a hell of a thing. intel is the bigger brand name, the bigger company. Thats what matters to consumers. Consumers rarely make purchases based on objective data. People buy things largely because of how they feel about them. You don't have to have the best product, or even a good product, you just have to make the consumer feel good about buying your product.
Carson Richardson
I bought a 6700 back when AMD was shit (Excavator sucked balls) and don't plan on upgrading for a couple years.
Anybody who updated to any of the last three series 7/8/9 are complete retardes if they came from skylake. If they bought a threadripper I can understand but Intel has been so far behind it's almost sad.
This is a case of Microsoft vs Apple, Apple always had the better product but it didn't matter because Microsoft already owned the business market's mindshare.
The government would never allow that, there's too much security bullshit surrounding Intel in CII compute and military applications for them to change fabs.
Chase Johnson
why doesn't intel just bribe the laws of physics?
Carson Ramirez
They've been trying. The top Israeli Demon demanding 12 billion, but the head office hasn't approved their purchase order for that many foreskins yet.
Joshua Green
You can't run processors at Intel's specification in 7nm... SoC comes first, then it trickles down - if it evers gets there, thia industry is coming to a screeching hault.
Bentley Bailey
>You can't run processors at Intel's specification in 7nm Yes, because intel's designs are built around their 10nm process. And intel's 10nm process has larger feature sizes than TSMC and Samsung's respective 7nm nodes. Intel is behind them both on density in a significant way. They have no hope of being a competitive fab for the rest of this decade.
