I guess this plays into the comments that Intel looks to best compete by dropping prices having deep pockets and a strong 14nm lineup (refreshes to come it looks like too).

"Intel seems to have dropped all plans for a 10nm desktop processor launch and are now aiming to release 7nm desktop processors in 2022. The information comes from Hardwareluxx who have got a tip from their trustworthy insiders that Intel's 10nm line of processors would miss out on a desktop launch entirely and users who are waiting for sub-14nm processors from Intel would have to wait till 2022.

The report says that Intel's 10nm supply just isn't enough to handle mass markets such as desktop at the moment which is why they will be offering 14nm replacements up until 2022. There are two 'S' desktop families which we already know about, which include Comet Lake-S (2020) and Rocket Lake-S (2021). Both lineups will be built on enhanced 14nm nodes and would offer a decent single-core and multi-core performance given the added number of cores and threads which many consumers are expecting."
 
They'd better be cheap or the huge power use increase vs 7nm zen2 would be a major issue over lifetime.

I won't bet on that. There will be a 10nm soon. They only made so many 14nm so that they can fill the market and the 10nm needs some time to change the manufacturing lines and this is an ongoing process. They already made a 2 versions server CPu using 14nm and 10nm. They didn't make one better than the other but probably the 38 core will draw much lower power than the 48 core which won't be faster but probably cheaper.
 
Skipping 10nm and nothing for three years. Yep, just as I thought.
