A new rumour surfaced earlier this week, suggesting that Intel would abandon the 10nm CPUs and move straight away to 7nm. However, it appears that this rumour was false. Intel has officially responded to this, claiming that it is currently making great progress on 10nm desktop CPUs.
Now as you may have noticed, we did not publish this rumour as it contradicted everything we’ve been hearing lately from Intel. And it appears we were right.
As Intel’s official statement reads:
“We continue to make great progress on 10nm, and our current roadmap of 10nm products includes desktop.”
And that is that, straight from the blue team itself. There will be 10nm desktop CPUs, although we don’t know when these CPUs will hit the market.
Intel has not released any 10nm desktop CPU yet. The first one, based on the Sunny Cove architecture, will be likely come out in 2020/2021. Do note that its 10th generation Core series, which may come out next month, are on the 14nm fabrication.

You mean 14nm?
yeap, typo.

People still trust that site after the debacle that was their “Just Buy It” article, now since heavily edited in a desperate attempt at damage limitation, by their then new editor about Nvidia RTX cards? smh
While Intel has confirmed that 10nm desktop processors are coming, it does little to counter yesterday’s rumours.
Right now, there’s no desktop CPU roadmap from Intel that includes 10nm, and the above statement could be true with as little as a NUC release of today’s Ice Lake mobile CPU silicon.
Intel’s rumoured abandonment of 10nm desktop processors referred specifically to Intel’s socketed desktop CPUs. Intel’s 10nm replacements for Coffee Lake/Comet Lake.
Intel has not told when to expect 10nm socketed desktop processors, which leaves plenty of room for these 10nm rumours to be valid.
It is also possible that Intel’s 10nm desktop processors could be HEDT variants of the company’s planned Ice Lake server processors. Those processors would be considered 10nm desktop processors, even if they don’t replace Intel’s mainstream desktop processors, IMO.
Beyond that, Intel has given us no indication that their Comet Lake successor will be using 10nm.
I think, will their 10nm desktop release be another Broadwell ?
I guess only time will tell. But I digress….
Those points indeed makes some sense….
You forgot to take your psychiatric MEDS today for your Mental disturbance ! lol

Im just curious either you are r3 tard or you are r3 tard?
They would have skipped the 10 nm process if they could have. But making 7 nm isn’t any easier.

That’s what they’ve been saying for about 5 years now?
