Here's how Rocket Lake on 10nm could've been worse than what we saw last week

As we've known for some time now, Intel is planning to launch its 12th Gen Core series “Alder Lake” processors in late 2021. The follow-up won't be too far behind, with Intel confirming the Raptor Lake-S platform, which will presumably launch as the 13th Gen Core series in 2022.  Intel …

We know that Intel plans to release its Alder Lake processors before the end of this year and we've recently heard about Lunar Lake coming in 2023 – so what is happening in 2022? Well thanks to another leak this week, we've learned about Intel “Raptor Lake”, which is planned …

A picture of an alleged Alder Lake-S processor has surfaced. This image shows the back of the processor compared to the back of the currently available Comet Lake-S processors, giving us an estimate of its size and a look at some of the physical differences between both architectures. Intel Alder …

With the release of Intel Tiger Lake coming soon, more details about the new architecture have surfaced. Intel's latest mobile chips use an intranode architecture restructure by implementing both SuperFin and SuperMIM technologies, offering a performance improvement equivalent to a “node leap”. The name SuperFin comes from the use of redesigned …

It is going to take a bit longer for Intel to catch up to 7nm.

As the Human Malware spreads around Planet Earth, Leo is doing his best to remain chirpy. Thankfully we can turn to news from AMD for a healthy portion of sunshine and happiness that will keep us all sane in these dark times.

Intel’s CFO George Davis has stated that the company's 10nm process node will be ‘less productive' than its predecessors, but it is targeting a “better profile of performance” for its “7nm period”. Additionally, Intel's road to 5nm will be shorter thanks to the company's investments in this technology. During a …

Could this mark a real push to see Intel's 10nm chips on the desktop platform?

Intel officially announced its new 10nm ULP x86 microarchitecture  – Tremont. This new microarchitecture will be at the core of Intel's Lakefield chipsets, planned to be used in servers, IoT devices, laptops, 5G networking, and tablets, like the Surface Neo. Yesterday, in Santa Clara, California, at the Linley Fall Processor …

After spending a couple of days at Intel's development centre in Israel, Leo returns with an Intel-focused episode to share what was learned.

Intel's struggles to get 10nm off the ground are well documented at this point but it looks like 2019 will finally be the year. This week, Intel revealed its latest CPU roadmap, which says that the first Intel 10nm processor will begin shipping in June, with multiple new products coming …

At CES earlier this month, Intel finally demonstrated its first 10nm processor for desktops. The Ice Lake CPU is supposed to arrive by the end of 2019 after plenty of delays. Unfortunately, there may still be unforeseen complications, as industry rumours claim that Intel is struggling with implementing PCIe 4.0 support in the chipset.

After numerous delays, Intel has finally demonstrated its 10nm Ice Lake desktop processor at CES 2019. Based on the Sunny Cove microarchitecture and integrated with the latest Thunderbolt 3, Wi-Fi 6, and DL Boost, Intel promises that manufacturers will finally have access to the 10nm line by the end of …

Intel’s struggle with its new 10nm process has put considerable strain on its 14nm chips, with the firm believed to have sought the help of rival TSMC to help with satiate demand. Although Intel later emphasised that it was handling its own manufacturing capacity, industry sources continue to claim that …

Intel speaks out to refute claims that it has 'killed off' work on 10nm CPUs. Launch is still on track for 2019.

Intel’s continuously delayed 10nm chips has put significant strain on its 14nm range, resulting in the company doing a round of damage control to assure it has enough stock to meet its full-year revenue outlook. Now, it seems as though 10nm production is ahead of schedule, causing Intel’s stock to …

Intel’s acting CEO Bob Swan has finally outlined the firm’s plans to combat its 14nm chip shortage.

Back in May 2017, a former TSMC engineer was accused of stealing trade secrets relating to the company's 28nm process technology. Now, a similar situation has come to light this year, with another former TSMC employee charged with stealing trade secrets and attempting to take them to a new job …

Originally slated for a 2016 debut, Intel has repeatedly delayed its 10nm Cannon Lake processors, now expected to arrive in bulk sometime in 2019. It looks as though we will finally be seeing something from the range, however, with the mid-range Lenovo IdeaPad 330 sporting the firm’s first 10nm chip …

Intel has been forging ahead with the 14nm process for a while now, but the company has also been quietly working away on 10nm, which will debut with Canon Lake CPUs. Last year, Intel began boasting about its progress, but towards late 2017, Canon Lake was delayed. Now, we have …

Samsung has begun preparing itself for the incoming wave of demand for 10nm chips. Today, the company announced that its Foundries have commenced mass production of system-on-chip (SoC) products built using Samsung's second generation 10nm FinFET process, known as 10LPP (Low Power Plus). The new 10LPP process allows up to …

While Intel is still planning to roll out 14nm+ processors for the desktop market, the company has also been planning the jump to 10nm for quite some time now. Intel's Cannon Lake rollout has been pushed back a couple of times, though recently the company claimed that it would be …
