So considering how badly Intel stumbled with the transition to 10nm, how reliable are these roadmaps? Well, believe it or not, there is a lot of evidence that points to the fact that Intel is actually ahead of schedule by as much as 6 months. This is something we have covered before and while with 10nm, Intel was always pushing back its launches, it has actually brought back the 18A launch from development in 2025 to manufacturing ready (read: risk production) in 2H 2024 - which is a pretty big deal. It should come off as great relief to investors suffering from 10nm PTSD to know that not only is the process on track but Intel actually seems to be ahead of schedule.
Will be interesting to see if Intel can stay on top of these schedule issues they have been experiencing…doc
