GloFlo had decided to jump from 14nm to 7nm directly, while skipping the 10nm process because it believed that 10nm will help not much to improve power consumption and costs for clients.

“The 10nm node is more like a semi-generation process, similar to the previous the 20nm technology, which could not meet clients' requirements,”he said.

.. enter volume production in the first half of 2018 with initial clients including IBM and AMD.

“The 7nm process has a number of advantages, including multi-core, high-speed I/O capabilities, reducing power consumption by 60 per cent, upgrading performance by 30 per cent , cutting costs by 30 per cent doubling the yield rate per wafer, while providing 2.5D/3D packaging services,” he said.


Supports the rumor that AMD will skip 10nm entirely and go straight from 14nm to 7nm. Intel is making 10nm parts -- however, this article and others have surmised that 10nm may not offer enough improvement to be worth an upgrade over 14nm (except to Intel fans smile -- as an AMD fan, I understand smile ).
