Good news from Intel's 10nm, company shares up

The past few weeks have been blacker than blue for Intel due to problems in silicon production at 14nm, and the slow but steady steps of rival AMD, which has achieved great success with Ryzen.

Intel's 10nm process would have finally found the path to success

Intel has faced delay after delay in its 10nm manufacturing process technology. This, in turn, has limited their production capacity, leading to increased shortages and increasing prices for their processors, and costly chipset redesigns, which takes them from Intel's 14nm process to the previous 22nm process in order to free up of load to the factories that are in charge of the process at 14 nm. Finally, a rather hopeful report has been issued for the future of computing and the company.

A research report by Steve Mullane, an analyst at BlueFin Research Partners, says Itel could achieve a faster-than-expected increase in the production capacity of its 10nm process, slated to debut in June 2019. Second half production from Intel, suggests a boost to analyst revenue estimates for the fourth quarter and first quarter of 2019, in addition to claiming that suppliers believe that the production of the new 10nm silicon could be advanced by four to six weeks.

This news sparked an increase in Intel's stock price by 5%, while at the same time reducing AMD's stock price by 3.6%. At the end of the trading day, these highs and lows turned into a 3.55% increase for Intel and a 0.45% drop for AMD. Finally it seems that we have good news about 10nm.
