Intel has problems with 10nm and moves volume production towards 2019

In extra notes that originate from Intels quarterly figures it looks like Intel is fighting 10nm production, according to the publication of the quarterly figures of the company it will start production in 2019.

Intel will, however, be releasing release 10nm processors this year, however only in small quantities reports dutch website tweakers. High volume shipments has been moved towards 2019, a fact that can be read back in notes of the quarterly figures. Intel started in September 2014 with the release of its 14nm processors, although the mass production of 14nm started in 2015. It is not known what causes the delay of the 10nm production.

The problems did not prevent a good quarterly result. Intel's turnover increased by 13 percent to 16.1 billion dollars. Intel expects sales growth of 10 percent over the next quarter compared to last year. For the full year of 2018, the company expects to spend $ 2.5 billion more than previously thought, totaling $ 67.5 billion. As far as the revenue from PC chips is concerned, however, the company expects turnover to remain the same as last year.

As far as I'm concerned, this is good news. I'm sure they will sort out the problems in 2019 at the latest, so the competition can continue as it should, and it's not like Intel wouldn't still be making the best gaming CPUs even if they aren't the best otherwise. But let's call this karma; they refused to really develop their CPUs when they were in a position to milk the market as much as they wanted, so now they are paying the price by being unable to develop as fast as they want.

Point 2 in that note is what annoys me the most, its obvious intel have been funded alot of their failures from the solid PC money. Less innovation (around 9% generation to generation) and at the same time higher prices for their PC parts.

Glad AMD came around to fck that up with real innovation at resonable prices for what we the consumers gets IE force intel to start innovate again rather than funnel that money away due to lack of competition.

My new system is amd based and the old 7700k went to my file server, the x470 chipset along with the 2700x was hasstle free (asus crosshair vii hero) where the 7700k along with z270 (asus strix) had more issues - Amd really have come around swinging again and im happy for that of oibsious reasons - All consumers win on that in the end!

Also if i understand good, amd cpu cores are still 4, and they get paired in packages. This gives them a fixed are to produce and then they can scale `gluing` them togheter.
While intel is going with monoblock cores, that are more problematic as the area increase

the ccx's are fabbed in pairs so 2 ccx's are always a single piece ! threadrippers are 2 of those pairs and epyc 4 ... but still having 16 cores on 2 pieces instead of 1 helps the yields tenfolds !

That's probably why they are stealing AMD Staff and now have Jim Keller.

Not anyhow related. They shifting mass production of 10 nm, not development of new architecture. Likely because they want to start with 10+, as 10 is a little less effective than highly successful 14++. Still, we likely to see a bit of CNL 9th generation this summer.
