Intel confirms its products at 10nm and the jump to 7nm in 2021
Table of contents:
- Ice Lake CPUs will be the first 10nm processors to arrive in June
- Intel Xe graphics cards for games will arrive in 2020
During an investor meeting, Intel has confirmed its roadmap for its future products manufactured at 10nm, 10nm +, 10nm ++ and those with the 7nm node, the latter will not be until 2021.
Ice Lake CPUs will be the first 10nm processors to arrive in June
Starting with the 10nm family, Intel has clarified that its 10nm process node may offer some major performance improvements per watt. Compared to 14nm ++, the first 10nm iteration shows a good jump in efficiency, improving the density by up to 2.7 times over 14nm. During 2020 Intel will have a 10nm + process node and a 10nm ++ node in 2021.

Ice Lake is confirmed to be the first series of processors with a 10nm node and will arrive in June. Ice Lake will be processors for portable devices that will come with a new generation of integrated Gen11 graphics.
The 10nm node would be used in multiple products throughout 2019-2020, which would include Xeon CPUs for HPC, FPGA, 5G networks, general-purpose GPUs, and AI inference. Intel also confirmed that it expects the 14nm supply issues to be fully resolved by the fourth quarter of 2019.
The company has mentioned Tiger Lake chips, which will use a 10nm + process in 2020. These processors will use the Intel Xe graphics architecture, to offer up to 4 times more graphics performance than current Gen9.5 chips. Tiger Lake will be the natural successor to Ice Lake and Whiskey Lake, where they hope to deliver 2.5-3 times the performance over Whiskey Lake processors in a 15W package.
Intel Xe graphics cards for games will arrive in 2020
Intel also confirmed its plans for the jump to 7nm starting in the year 2021. Like its plans for 10nm, there will also be improved variants of this process with 7nm + in 2022 and 7nm ++ in 2023. The jump from 10 to 7nm would offer Intel 2x more density and 20% more performance per watt.
Intel Xe graphics for the mass market (games) will be ready in 2020 with its 10nm processing node, while Xe graphics for data center purposes (IA and HPC) will do so in 2021 with a 7nm process node.
Intel's path seems clearer now, and it also confirms that it would continue to use the 14nm node for its desktop chips for a few more years.
