Intel expects to launch its first 5nm gaa chips in 2023

Intel has previously announced a 7nm process in 2021, the first product being the Ponte Vecchio graphics card for use in data centers. The 5nm after 7nm process will be a very important step for Intel as it will abandon the FinFET transistors for the GAA transistors on this node.

Intel expects to launch its first 5nm GAA chips in 2023

Intel used FinFET transistors (3D Transistors) for the first time with the 22nm process node. FinFET transistors have been extremely profitable for Intel and the industry in general, but in increasingly smaller nodes, their design is becoming obsolete, where GAA transistors come in.

Intel has previously mentioned that the 5nm process is under development, but has not released the details, and the latest news is that its 5nm process will abandon FinFET transistors and move to GAA wide-gate transistors.

GAA transistors also have a variety of technical paths, having previously mentioned that their GAA process can improve performance by 3%, reduce power consumption by 50%, and reduce chip area by 45%, but this is Compare with your 7nm process and it's preliminary data.

Given Intel's strength in process technology, the performance improvement of its GAA process should be more pronounced.

As for the 5nm process, there is no clear schedule, but Intel mentioned previously that after 7nm the process cycle will return to the update rate of the previous two years, that is, as soon as 2023 the Intel's 5nm process already implemented in its chips. We will keep you.
