Intel 7nm CPUs Pushed back a Year, Alder Lake in 2H-2021

Intel 7nm CPUs Pushed back a Year, Alder Lake in 2H-2021

Intel just posted its financial results and along with it come notes. In these notes, they make some uncommon statements.  It seems their 7nm products are being pushed back by a year. In 2022 or 2023 will Intel introduce a 7nm CPU for consumers. 

Intel now indicates that they will focus on getting its 10nm node up to scale in the meantime, which they have been doing for years now really, that a 14nm of course.  So, 10 nm Tiger Lake mobile and Ice Lake-SP enterprise processor remains on-track for 2020.

  • 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake-S" desktop processors won't be here before the 2nd half of 2021.
  • 11th Gen Core "Rocket Lake" processors (14nm)are on route, get increased IPC thanks to modern Cypress Cove CPU core architecture. 

Thinking about it, 7nm raises another question, Xe processors. In specific of course their dedicated graphics processors as things have gone really silent on it, aside from the IGP side of things that is. Intel mentions it is considering outsourcing the production of its 7nm GPU for data centers.

We'll see though.

Intel (PDF):

Intel is accelerating its transition to 10nm products this year with increasing volumes and strong demand for an expanding line up. This includes a growing portfolio of 10nm-based Intel Core processors with “Tiger Lake” launching soon, and the first 10nm-based server CPU “Ice Lake,” which remains planned for the end of this year.

In the second half of 2021, Intel expects to deliver a new line of client CPU’s (code-named “Alder Lake”), which will include its first 10nm-based desktop CPU, and a new 10nm-based server CPU (code-named “Sapphire Rapids”). The company's 7nm-based CPU product timing is shifting approximately six months relative to prior expectations. The primary driver is the yield of Intel's 7nm process, which based on recent data, is now trending approximately twelve months behind the company's internal target.

The 7nm process thus is falling further behind. “The company’s 7nm-based CPU product timing is moving around six months relative to prior expectations,” Intel said. “The primary driver is the yield of Intel’s 7nm process, which based on recent data, is now trending approximately twelve months behind the company’s internal target.” An Intel representative confirmed that the “shift” was, in fact, a delay.

Notice that it is interesting that Intel never actually confirm when their expectations for 7nm are for. With mention of releasing 10nm at the end of 2021 it sounds like 7nm may still be a very long way off in the future.

Yea this isn't going to go well for Intel. Maybe they will try and take TSMC's Huawei and Apple capacity now that orders reduced and/or stopped?

I really wasn't expecting anything smaller than 10nm until at least 2021 considering how well their chips are doing against AMD using two full processes larger. Now do I want them to continue this? Hell no. I want at least 10nm like yesterday.

Apple and TSMC together are building a FAB in Arizona.
