Intel delays its manufacturing process at 7nm until 2022

We know that the miniaturization of processors is increasingly difficult, not in vain with the arrival of the 28 nm many analysts predicted the death of the famous Moore's law that says that approximately every two years the number of transistors in a microprocessor doubles. Intel is not spared and after the delays at its 14nm and 10nm nodes we know that the 7nm process is not going away and has been delayed until 2022, two years later than originally planned.

Intel announces a 2-year delay in its 7nm processors

Recall that in 2017 the Intel Cannonlake processors will arrive, the first ones manufactured in 10nm Tri-Gate, three years later, in 2020, the arrival of their first chips manufactured in 7nm was planned, but finally we will have to wait up to five years to see the next leap in the manufacturing process of the semiconductor giant.

With this it is more than clear once again that the tick-tock cycle of Intel has passed to a better life after many years present, remember that this strategy consisted of changing the manufacturing process every two years with a change of microarchitecture through. So it is clear that we are going to have several generations of 10nm Tri-Gate processors to succeed Cannonlake.

We recommend reading our guide to the best processors on the market.

The Cannonlake processors will be succeeded by a new 10nm + generation and then these will be succeeded in turn by a new 10nm ++ generation that would arrive in 2020, at which time the first 7nm chips were originally planned.
