Intel renames nodes: 10nm+ and 7nm become Intel 7 and 4

Processes at Intel will no longer be measured in nanometers. To differentiate itself from rivals, the company is adopting new names that are intended to provide a "clearer picture." As a result, Intel's upcoming 10nm+ and 7nm nodes will be named Intel 7 and 4.
Intel 7 is the new name for 10nm Enhanced SuperFin, which Intel previously called SuperFin. Intel's 10nm SuperFin process, used in Tiger Lake processors, has been improved. A performance gain per watt of 10 to 15 percent over 10nm SuperFin has been achieved with Intel's 7-nanometer process, which is now in volume production.
Alder Lake CPUs for desktops and laptops will be available this year, made with Intel's 7-process technology.
Intel renames its upcoming 7nm process Intel 4 to avoid confusion with its predecessor, Intel 3. Intel will use euv in production for the first time. About 20 percent more performance per watt than Intel 7 is expected with this generation. Products should appear in 2023 if production begins in the second half of 2022. Granite Rapids for data centers and Meteor Lake processors for consumers. An 18 percent increase in performance per watt is expected with Intel 3, thanks to the addition of euv layers and FinFET optimizations. A new Intel node is planned for the second half of 2023.

Also just think: the same motherboard could use an Intel, Cyrix or AMD processor.
Boggles the mind these days!
Yep, it was mind blowing backthen to know that one can choose CPUs from 3 different manufacturers to fit into single board/socket.
early cyrix was whack, a complete x86 implementation with no reliance on intel patents, and faster than the intel equivalent.
Sure, in real MHz per MHz comparison Cyrix CPUs from 1st gen Pentium era were faster than Intel counterparts i.e. Cyrix P166+ (133MHz) was indeed faster than Pentium 133MHz, also in synthethic benchmarks. As far as I remember Cyrix P166+ felt even snappier than Pentium 166MHz in most DOS games I've played backthen, in "light usage" on Windows 95 too. But in heavy workload Intel Pentium CPUs were faster, talking about Pentium 166MHz against Cyrix P166+, but also Intel was quite more expencive backthen. I remember like it was yesterday that I had to buy Cyrix P166+ backthen because couldn't afford Intel Pentium 166MHz, here inSebia it was like 2x to 3x more expencive, hyperinflation here was insane backthen. Knew many people here who couldn't afford real Intel x86 CPUs so they've grabbed first in line affordable CPU either from AMD or Cyrix pile. But for the money they've costed Cyrix P"something"+ CPUs were really OK, lack of OCability is what killed them in my eyes.
Yeah I remember watching a vid by Nostalgia Nerd about Cyrix's history and that part was covered too IIRC.
Also learned that it was actually Quake that killed Cyrix, lols.
Got LGR and Norstalgia Nerd for years on my YT sub list
Yep, Intel Pentium 100MHz OCed to 120MHz in my other PC completely demolished Cyrix P166+ in Quake. iirc no other game or any other piece of software prior Quake made look Cyrix CPUs so poor. But nevermind Quake, Cyrix CPUs were very popular here in average Joe's PCs backthen.
