Last week the share price of Intel’s stock suffered a major setback when the chipmaker announced on Thursday that it had postponed the mass production of 7nm chips. Despite the sharp increase in profits, the price took a huge blow. They announced that their 7nm manufacturing process will suffer a 6 months delay due to a defect in the process. As a result, the first consumer products aren’t coming out before 2022, leaving Intel with 10nm process node as the only option for the time being.
