Rumor: Intel To Skip 10nm For Desktop CPUs, Will Offer 7nm Desktop CPUs in 2022
Intel seems to have dropped all plans for a 10nm desktop processor launch and are now aiming to release 7nm desktop processors in 2022. The information comes from Hardwareluxx who have got a tip from their trustworthy insiders..
The report says that Intel's 10nm supply just isn't enough to handle mass markets such as desktop at the moment which is why they will be offering 14nm replacements up till 2022
This more or less means that Intel would have to rely on their 'Financial Horsepower' to remain competitive against AMD for the next couple of years.
There's a realistic chance AMD will have 5nm going before Intel has 7nm. The chart shows the progression of Intel CPUs over the last several years and up to 2022 (rumored).
