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.

Say what? Everything Intel has and are doing points in the entire other direction. From the fact they aren't pushing hard to 10nm ie not investing in the fab as much, to the fact they hired some of the top minds for GPU(Raja) and CPU(Jim Keller) development.
LIkely all we can read into this is Ice Lake on 10nm either does not manufacture well or doesn't perform well. I suspect getting to those high clocks on 10nm is harder than they anticipated.
