Intel, known for its distinctive Logo Design and four-note advertising jingle, recently announced that its new manufacturing method, known as the 7-nanometer process, is being delayed. Some market analysts have suggested that this delay will give Intel’s competitors a better market share, including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, which is making smaller chips.
However, Intel has sought to make it clear that single-number names on the next generation of chips do not tell the full story about the quality of the products. According to the company, it has made significant improvements to its 10-nanometer process and has developed a new way to make SuperFin transistors. Along with the new type of material being used to make the chips, the 10-nanometer design process can still give Intel’s chips a big boost in performance.
The chief architect at Intel, Raja Koduri, said in an interview:
“It is 20%, the largest intra-node jump ever in our history. It’s actually same as what you would get with one full Moore’s Law node of performance.”
Those claims will be tested when Intel’s new chips become a reality.
