After years of trouble with its 10nm chip fab process, Intel has now announced a delay for its 7nm products.
Now today, Intel has given us more bad news with the announcement that its 7nm-based products have been delayed by another 6 months compared to the company’s previously disclosed launch date. Intel explained in its Q2 earrings report: As was the case with its troubled transition to 10nm, it appears that yield issues are once again the culprit. Given the hell that Intel went through with 10nm, and the management and organizational shakeups that resulted from that fiasco, it’s quite puzzling that Intel finds itself right back in the same place with 7nm.
