Intel is stuck on yesterday’s tech while it waits for tomorrow’s
TL;DR: Intel’s next-generation 18A process, its most advanced manufacturing technology, is ramping up more slowly than expected. Until it reaches high-volume production, the company’s heavily utilized Intel 7 lines will continue to constrain output for both client and data center chips. In the meantime, Intel is prioritizing higher-margin server processors to offset supply limitations and preserve profitability. […]
Intel’s next-generation […] process […] more slowly than expected.
When was the last time one of Intel’s next-gen processes went well? 🫠
Them selling their fabs lol
10 nm++++++++ is the new 14 nm++++++++
trying to jump from 7 to 1.8 seems like a big step lol, it’s hard to recover after so many issues and delays
As discussed here! https://retrolemmy.com/post/27617593
There is a certain irony in Intel 7 being a bottleneck for their business considering they’ve been shipping products with Intel 7 components for more than four years.
Intel 7 is now […]
Intel 7 lines will continue to […]
Aka Intel 7 was already and nothing has changed?
The change being that there was expected to be a change in the situation, which isn’t happening with 18A going slower than expected. This article doesn’t have much focus on the 18A part though.
The trick is to always expect unexpected delays at Intel’s Fabs, that way you can’t be disappointed by them any more
