Intel: 10nm On Track For HVM 2019, Investing An Additional $1 Billion In 14nm Production Ramp
According to Interim CEO Bob Swan, Intel’s 10nm is on-track for volume production in 2H 2019.
Intel’s 14nm capacity is operating at its limits and the company is falling short of the demand.
We are clearly entering into uncharted territory as far as the x86 market goes, with demand at an all-time high, Intel struggling to get its 10nm process out and AMD as competitive as ever.
Some AMD 7nm parts are to be released soon. However, the ones SimHQ gamers would buy are also aimed at 2019.
It remains to be seen if 7nm can outperform 10nm. As noted earlier, the 7nm and 10nm designations do not literally mean 7nm and 10nm. Rather, those are simplified designations to indicate to buyers what performance to expect.
