… Interestingly TSMC says it expects 2nm nanosheet production to begin in 2025, but Intel's roadmap has RibbonFET debuting in Q3 of 2024 . For its part, Samsung has already shifted to nanowires, which uses thinner fins than nanosheets, for its 3nm process. …
… Xeon Roadmap Update Intel has committed to shipping Sapphire Rapids in Q1 2022, but we don't expect it to ship in significant volume until Q2. Sapphire Rapids will use the same Golden Cove microarchitecture inside Alder Lake and is built on the Intel 7 process, aka 10nm. …
… Intel's 14nm and 10nm nodes are true feature shrinks across the board, while both Samsung and TSMC used a hybrid approach for their 16/14nm products. Samsung's 10nm is thought to be a hybrid between the 10 and 14nm nodes, just as 14nm is a hybridized 14nm / 20nm process. …
… Collectively, these are a fair number of improvements to Intel's budget processor, and they suggest Intel's Atom family will see a fair performance improvement in 2018. Ultimately, we're not surprised to see CPU roadmaps without huge changes for next year. …
… Intel's Razor Lake is likely to be built on a future process node, too, such as its 14A. Credit: Intel In Intel's only recent use of on-package memory, its Core Ultra 200V processors came with 16GB or 32GB of LPDDR5X-8533 memory, with no option to upgrade after purchase. …
… TSMC's roadmap to 2025. …
… We don't know when AMD will launch 5nm CPUs, but most roadmaps have suggested we won't see volume on consumer chips until Q1-Q2 2022. Apple launched on 5nm in September 2020, implying a growing gap between when leading-edge nodes debut and when they see mainstream adoption in CPUs and GPUs. …
… AMD is mum on its future GPU plans, but that's typically been the cycle -- the two companies tend to leapfrog each other, and AMD has a history of pushing to lower nodes faster, with smaller, less complicated GPUs. Now read: AMD CEO just laid out the company’s two-year roadmap
… TSMC announced their 6nm process last year, it typically takes about 12 months to ramp up for volume manufacturing, and that means the node could be ready for production soon. In a recent story , I pointed out that Ponte Vecchio's position on Intel's roadmap had shifted. …
… That is not the timeline Intel has on its roadmap , so this is a serious delay. Trendforce says the delay is due to "product design and process verification issues." However, it isn't clear if those issues are with TSMC's node, or Intel's. …
