    With Ice Lake being "just out", the sapphire rapids delay is not a surprise imo. Give just one more quarter to IL.

    Eh it's a different-team-different-platform thing so any SPR delays are/were utterly unwarranted.

    Lately?
    It's been 4 years of this by now.
    Nah, still on track as-is.

    How does that saying go, "If you can't compete, buy em." ?

    Pat loves them foundries.
    His first half a year as CEO seem to point into a strategic direction of being as big of a silicon production outfit as TSMC in the future.
    Makes you wonder if they even want to compete in CPUs eventually or will just switch to foundry services and things like HPC accelerators.

    Well, despite TSMC having a capacity at least three times bigger than Intel, Intel still brings in 70% more revenue and 30% more profit annually. Intel would be crazy to give up their CPU business lol.
    Surprising Intel is actually serious about competing in foundry business.

    I don't think so (that it's surprising), because without that, they can kiss their higher revenue and profits goodbye very soon.

    Well,

    7nm (Previously 10ESF), 4nm (Previously 7nm), 3nm (Previously 7nm+), 20 Angstroms (Previously 5nm). So it is just 2 major process upgrades actually. Intel is just following TSMC/Samsung node names. Those node names are meaningless these days.

    Indeed. "Process names" are now whatever the marketing team wants to call them, it's just numbers on a slide to a great extent. Transistor thickness, gate length and pitch, interconnect pitch, it can end up all being the same garbage from 22nm to 7nm "nodes" depending on how you want to measure.

    So really what Intel has told us is: be prepared for a far more sinister marketing blitz!

    They aren't claiming any "nm" for 7/4/3 though. It's just "Intel 7".

    Two of those are nodelets so seems fine.
