Intel has taken the rather unprecedented step of immediately denouncing claims by Charlie Demerjian that it has “pulled the plug on [its] struggling 10nm process.” Intel has tweeted a response to the SemiAccurate article just a few hours after its publication, saying that the reports are untrue and that all is well in the world of its 10nm node. Well, okay maybe not that well as it is still hugely delayed and unlikely to find its way into volume production until around this sort of time next year. At the earliest. That’s in keeping with what Intel has itself publicly stated as the timeline for its newest lithography, but does mean that it will be ceding the process lead to AMD for the first time in ages. AMD will have its 7nm Zen 2 processors out in the wild by the middle of 2019, meaning that it will potentially have a six month lead time on Intel’s notionally equivalent 10nm production process. There are reports that AMD will not only have the benefits of a production lead by that time, but will also have delivered 10%+ more instructions per clock (IPC) in its next-gen CPUs too.
