this year6month,Foreign media reports that Intel in order to easeCPUOut of stock,Finding Samsung to FoundryCPU。Subsequently,Intel says talks with Samsung over chip production,However, we are only talking about the low-end chipset foundry.,The specific process used was not disclosed。
Actually,Intel14nm++The transistor density of the process is higher than that of Samsung and TSMC14nmAll high。and so,If Intel outsources this part of the production,Is equivalent to giving up some advantages in performance in pursuit of productivity。
During Intel's third-quarter earnings call,Regarding more concerned about the progress of the process,IntelCEO Bob SwanEmphasize,10nmProcess progress as expected,2021Will be launched in7nmchip,More advanced5nmThe process is also under development。
