Intel delays 10nm Cannon Lake processors, again, until late 2019

It used to be that Intel was undisputed king of the silicon race. It's kind of shocking that they've fallen so far behind.

TSMC is already doing 7nm mass production right now:

(arguably, what they call "7nm" isn't quite that, but still...)

AMD be like "C'mon Intel, you're making this too easy."

From the original article:

>In the second-quarter results, Intel said that its 10-nanometer yields are "on track" with systems on the market in the second half of 2019. Krzanich's previous perspective wasn't specific on whether they would arrive in the first half of next year or in the second half. On the conference call with analysts on Thursday, Swan was more specific and said products would be on shelves in time for the holiday season.

>Murthy Renduchintala, group president of the technology, systems architecture and client group, said on the call that the products that will become available in 2019 are client computing products, whereas products for data center use will come "shortly after." The stock fell further after those comments but later rebounded as executives talked about ongoing research and development for next-generation 7-nanometer technology.

I wonder how cloud computing providers feel about this. On the one hand, competition between Intel and AMD for the cloud probably means cheaper chips for them. On the other hand, they were probably looking forward to the power savings from Intel's 10nm chips.

And AMD's stock is up $3
