Intel, the company is optimistic about its move to the 10nm node

After years of trouble, Intel is now bullish on its 10nm process technology. Ice Lake has hit the shelves as Intel promised in 2019 (albeit after several projection reviews), and shipped the first Agilex FPGAs in the third quarter.
Intel is optimistic about its 10nm node and its production capacity
In 2020, Intel will expand its 10nm portfolio with the already announced Spring Hill AI inference accelerator, Snow Ridge 5G SoC base station, and Ice Lake-SP for servers, rumored to have 32 cores and 64 PCIe 4.0 threads.
On the customer side, releases include the Lakefield hybrid architecture, the Atom Elkhart Lake and Skyhawk Lake, and the Core Tiger Lake series. But also Intel's first discrete GPU, which Intel revealed to be called DG1. As previously mentioned, Intel achieved DG1 with “A Milestone” in performance, according to CEO Bob Swan.
The general problem that prevented Intel from making the jump to 10nm is performance (per wafer), but now Intel says that performance is progressing above expectations for both the client and the server. " We feel very good about the capacity we have put in place, the products we have in preparation and the yields we are achieving, an improvement almost weekly for the last six months." So for 10nm, we feel great , "said Bob Swan.
