Intel has announced that it works on Ice Lake processors, the processors based on the perfection of 10nm lithography and that 10nm Cannon Lake processors, are just around the corner.

There are times when we wonder what Intel is really doing. It was expected that during this second half of the year the Coffee Lake would arrive, but these seem to be delayed until next year and on the contrary a rehash of the Kaby Lake will arrive (perhaps without toothpaste). The Intel Basins Falls make sense, considering that they are intended for a professional segment and not for gaming, with which they can be understood and if we analyze it they are logical, but to say that they are working on a 10nm revision seems like a joke.

Intel has come to the fore to say that the Intel Cannon Lake processors are underway and that they are already working on an improvement regarding the 10nm manufacturing process, something that in the past was known as Tick (10nm input) and Tock (10nm perfection and departure to the next architecture). That is over, as it is increasingly complex to reduce the manufacturing process. Skylake arrived in 14nm, it was perfected with Kaby Lake and now in theory, the Coffee Lake will arrive, also based on 14nm, although with an important novelty, the first six-core Intel processor (predictably).

Well, today it has been confirmed that by Intel on its Twitter account that they are working on the improvement of 10nm, which will be called Ice Lake, since according to Cannon Lake they are falling. Intel's Roadmaps lately are even more volatile than AMD's and even crazier because, although we try, there are times when we get involved between families, architectures and processors of the company, which no longer have any order or concert, they go a bit to jump of map. Maybe because of the pressure from AMD due to the AMD Ryzen or because going from 14nm to 10nm has cost more than expected and possibly it also costs to go from 10nm to 7nm.
