For Intel 10nm will be a less productive node than 14nm and 22nm

10 for Intel is like 3 for Valve.

Less productive = Higher costs
It will be interesting to see he retail price when they drop compared to previous gen
If the performance increase is minimal i can see alot of people skipping this gen

smaller process + more cores = crappier yields
Going the chiplet route is how you continue to add cores while shrinking transistors without killing yields.
I wonder where Intel would be right now if 10nm was planned to be a chiplet design?

Less productive really means they will have 7nm ramped up not much after they are finally are able to fix 10nm for desktop and server chips aka 10nm+.
@asturur AMD's Zen3 chips are going to be awesome 🙂 No fanboy but you don't do a new design on a better 7nm EUV process and not eek out some IPC and frequency gains. Doesn't take much to be better than Intel in every regard this iteration.

intels scrapped plans for high performance 10nm on desktop and are aiming for 7nm+

They should take some lessons&yields from TSMC 5-7nm.
