The Intel class action lawsuit alleges that during the Class Period, defendants misrepresented Intel’s business and financial condition by issuing false and misleading statements and/or failing to disclose adverse information regarding Intel’s financial performance and, in particular, the...
Anandtech pulls together the Ice Lake info form Intels Computex presentation. I know some of this was presented in pieces elsewhere, but this pulls it together.
It also the most important CPU news for Intel going forward. This Intels new core, and new IGPU. It may also be Intels only real...
Intel is showing manufacturing plan for next 4+ years:

Naturally there will be some skepticism considering the stumbles of 10nm, but OTOH, they no doubt learned a lot from their...
Intel is suffering from a 14nm silicon shortage right now, and some industry figures think that boxed DIY processor sales are getting hit particularly hard. Last year, analysts expected the shortage to persist well into the first half 2019, but now, Digitimes Research believes that the supply...
At CES 2019, Intel previewed their upcoming "Lakefield" SoC. Unlike Intel's previous mobile designs, Lakefield uses Intel's Foveros 3D stacking technology to integrate various IPs and system memory into a diminutive 12mm x 12mm package, and mixes 4 10nm Atom cores with a single 10nm Sunny Cove...
I know this seems like a useless question. But, since socket 775 lasted a long while and we've been on 14nm for several years now, when I read Tiger Lake (7nm) (EDIT: I just read it will be on 10nm) will come out soon after Ice Lake (10nm), would it really be worth it to skip 10nm and just...
10nm chips are now on store shelves, but probably not in the form you want. As spotted by dylan522p on Twitter, the Walmart, Amazon, and Newegg U.S. sites are listing Intel Crimson Canyon NUCs with i3-8121U CPUs, while SimplyNUC also has a section for them. These 10nm chips showed up in Chinese...
Charlie Demerjian of Semiaccurate has dropped a bombshell article in which he reports that Intel insiders have proclaimed the current 10nm process is dead. He says that this is a good thing for the company as it was the right thing to do. Assuming that there is truth to this rumor, this means...
The Oregonian says that Intel will split its manufacturing and technology group into three different segments. Mike Mayberry, head of Intel labs, will lead the technology division. Ann Kelleher will lead manufacturing and operations, while Randhir Thakur will run the supply chain branch. Sohail...
According to Compal president and CEO Martin Wong, Intel hasn't given its downstream partners a clear schedule on when the processor shortages can be resolved. He believes that the Intel processor shortage will continue into 2H19 and will negatively affect notebook shipments during the upcoming...
By now everyone knows the 10nm Cannon Lake processors aren't going to hit the market until late next year. Further, due to these delays at the fab Intel has had trouble grabbing orders and there's speculation they will be scaling down their fabs. Also, in addition to this bad news for Intel...
In yesterdays conference call Intel confirmed that Cannon Lake will be out just in time for the 2019 holidays. We already knew they had delayed mass production until 2019, but waiting till the end of next year is huge. As a result Intel is hoping 14nm chips like Whiskey Lake and Amber Lake will...
Charlie over at SemiAccurate has somewhat of a story today that is not the usual tell-all that he likes to publish, but is rather a rolling rumor factory. Not that there's anything wrong with discussing rumors. Charlie is billing this as Intel's failed 10nm "crushing as "$20+B market cap tech...
Charlie Demerjian always has an interesting opinion to share, and today is no different. Charlie is suggesting that Intel's recent 10nm "launch" is simply a PR stunt to save its stock price. I highly suggest going over and giving his supporting hypothesis a read as he has put together a very...
An article from The Motley Fool today outlines how Intel's troubled 10nm manufacturing may end up falling even further behind TSMC. Intel had originally planned to release it's 10nm chips in 2016, which was pushed to 2017, then pushed again to 2018, then a few weeks ago 10nm was delayed yet...
Intel has announced they are not going to ship 10nm processors in high volume this year. This move seems to confirm rumors that their 10nm process still isn't up to steam and they need more time to get things right. While I'm all for getting things right I'm also impatient to get my new shiny...
One step we’re taking is to replace one of the future Intel® Xeon Phi™ processors (code name Knights Hill) with a new platform and new microarchitecture specifically designed for exascale.
Cannonlake
What is Cannonlake?
Cannonlake was apparently meant to be the succesor to Skylake, featuring 8 cores on the mainstream desktop with a token IPC jump of 5%~, but due to 10nm woes Desktop and Server Cannonlake were scrapped and were replaced with two 14nm desktop lineup slot ins...
The Korean English Language ET News site has a story up about Samsung making major investments to ramp up and expand it's 10nm FinFET lines starting next month. Current production volumes produce 25,000 10nm wafers per month with high yields. The planned expansions add another 18,000 wafers per...
