Intel reveals that in June of this year the first processors based on 10nm will arrive and by 2021 7nm
Intel's 10nm lithography processors will arrive this June at the hands of Ice Lake for laptops.
After many months of delay, Intel's 10nm processors are just around the corner. The company has officially announced that the 10nm Ice Lake will hit the market next June. These processors will be designed for portable processors with very low power consumption. These processors will arrive in a dual-core configuration.
Intel announces 10nm for June 2019 and 7nm for 2021
The company has highlighted that 2020nm + will arrive in 10 and that 2021nm ++ will arrive by 10. It will also be in 2021 when 7nm will arrive, a process that will compete directly with TSMC's 5nm. By 2022 7nm + will arrive and by 2023 7nm ++ will arrive, which should increase the density by 200% with respect to 10nm.
They have also given data regarding 10nm, highlighting that they will increase the density by 270% with respect to 14nm. They ensure that the video transcoding speed and graphics performance will be doubled. They have also said that the performance of Artificial Intelligence will triple and wireless connectivity will be improved.
“10nm Manufacturing Process Technology: The first mass-produced 10nm processor will bring to life a portable PC platform under the name 'Ice Lake', which will begin shipping in June.
The Ice Lake platform will make the most of 10nm alongside innovations in architecture. It is expected to deliver approximately 3x faster wireless speeds, 2x faster video transcoding speeds, 2x faster graphics performance, and 2,5-3x faster Artificial Intelligence (AI) performance than products of the previous generation. "
A major leap in performance and efficiency
“State of the 7nm manufacturing process: Renduchintala, President of Technology, Systems Architecture and Customer Group and Director of Engineering at Intel, provided the first updates to Intel's 7nm manufacturing process technology, which will multiply density by 2 and is expected to provide an increase of approximately 20 percent in performance per watt consumed. It will be the first commercial use of the company's extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, a technology that will help drive scaling for multiple generations of nodes. ”
On the graphics division, the company during Computex will hold an event focused on Intel Graphics. According to the data Intel Xe @ 7nm will arrive in 2021 and will be for Data Centers. Intel Xe @ 10nm is expected to arrive next year for the gaming market. The latter must compete with AMD and NVIDIA graphics with 7nm lithography.
