Intel may have thrown in the towel at 10nm according to new information

Intel's 10nm manufacturing process has been causing problems for the company for years, so much so that consumer products are expected to launch in late 2019, when they were planned for 2015. New information suggests that Intel could have thrown in the towel at 10 nm.

Goodbye to the 10nm Intel?

Initially, the 10nm process was expected to be ready in 2015, but it has been slowing down time after time, allowing competitors like TSMC and Samsung to catch up with the previous leader in cutting-edge silicon manufacturing. Now reports are coming that Intel has phased out its 10nm manufacturing process, with SemiAccurate being the first to report the change.

This report comes amid reports of a major reorganization within the Intel Technology and Manufacturing Group, which will divide the Group into three divisions, an ideal time to dispense with 10nm and develop a new node that can apparently avoid challenges. insurmountable of this process. If the SemiAcurate report is true, it is impossible to know how this news will affect the Intel product roadmap, any further delay in creating a new next generation product node will give AMD a competitive advantage, given its Using TSMC's 7nm node with its Zen 2 architecture.

In the short term, the death of 10nm would cause Intel a lot of financial problems, as the market expects Intel to go beyond 14nm in the near future. That said, if Intel's current 10nm node were as bad as reported, it is likely that keeping the company's current course could have been more damaging to the company in the long term.

Ultimately, Intel could turn to TSMC's 7nm process to build its new processors, although that would be a devastating blow to company pride.
