Article: How Intel Makes Chips

Decent article, gives a lot of insight into the timeline for creating those chips and how far in advance the planning starts.

The interesting concept was that there are specialized parts of the chip core that are only utilized by certain companies, which then makes you wonder what else exactly is in those chips...

I was wondering the same thing...

It also shows Intel admitting they have a speed increase problem. They cite 20% performance increase every generation, but I think that's not in the core itself but the GPU/AVX side of things... We're lucky to get honest 20% gains over sandy bridge clock for clock, in most intensive CPU task that don't rely on extensions.
 
That was a pretty good read.

I too wonder what those specialized functions are.
 
Interesting read, I enjoyed it.The $$$$ that a customer has to agree to spend with Intel in order to get special circuitry on the die, that won't be a selling point for customer B must be astounding.
 
Intel manufacturing is Impressive but still feels like they are slowing down in development. More cores isn't always the answer

They are slowing down. The wall of physics has pretty much been met, so different strategies have to be researched. They discussed that in the article.
