It seems that Intel's 10nm is delayed until 2020, in the case of server processors and in 2019 Copper Lake will arrive based on 14nm
The information continues that point to an increase in the delay in the arrival of Intel processors based on the 10nm lithography, which is being delayed by problems when it comes to screen printing the silicon. Currently the production of valid chips exceeds 50% which makes it much lower than the minimum necessary for a production that allows offering reasonable prices.
Is 10nm delayed again for Intel?
The next Intel processors will be the Cascade Lake (for servers) that will arrive at the end of this year, specifically in the last quarter of the year. Additionally, important security improvements are expected to mitigate Specter and Meltdown to the maximum.
These are already counted beans and what we are interested to know is what will happen in the near future in the company and it seems that it is not as bright as one might expect. It seems that in 2019 they will launch Cooper Lake processors and will also be based on 14nm, leaving 10nm for 2020 that will arrive with the Ice Lake family. Everything indicates that Cooper Lake will be an update of Cascade Lake that will maintain the same socket and who knows if they will be able to compete with the 7nm EPYC.
Cooper Lake is a big unknown and Anandtech comments on these processors that could bring a new socket for servers, this being the LGA4189 socket that is also used in the Ice Lake server version.
Intel should not be confused in the server market where it has enjoyed a placid time due to the impossibility of AMD to offer a solution to match, but EPYC and more specifically those based on 7nm are postulated as a huge solution that can be a serious problem for the company.
