Intel's 7nm processors delayed again

Intel Corp. shares slumped after warning about another production delay, sparking concern the world’s largest chipmaker will fall further behind rivals in a crucial area it once dominated.

At issue is a new method for cranking out smaller, more powerful chips, the timing of which “is shifting approximately six months relative to prior expectations,” the company said as it reported quarterly results on Thursday.

Intel shares fell 10% in extended trading. Advanced Micro Devices Inc., a rival, jumped 7%.

So 7nm will only be available at the end of 2022 yikes!? By then AMD is probably on 3nm, seems like Intel is just getting further and further behind of the competition and no I am not a fanboy of either, but I am a fan of what works best for me and my pocket

They should just buy ARM and get it over with.

I think anti-trust regulations might block it.

Just add another plus to 10nm and bobs your uncle

Ouch, just ouch

Just add another plus to 10nm and bobs your uncle

I think it would be cool if they start adding plus at the start as well:
++10nm+++

AMD is going to 5nm first I think

AMD goes with whatever TSMC vomits out. Never mind that TSMC's fab sizes aren't actually what they seem to be.

Intel's 10nm is denser than TSMC's 7nm for example.
