Intel’s first 7nm chips won’t be ready until 2022

To everyone’s surprise, Intel is really having a bad time as in its note to investors the Silicon giant was open to its woes. We were all wondering why Apple suddenly switched to its own Arm-based chips for its entire lineup.

Now it seems much clear as Intel has revealed the fact that the company is facing ongoing issues with its 7nm node. So, this, in turn, will push back the production of its 7nm chips by another six months from what was previously forecasted.

So this will ultimately delay Intel’s first 7nm based chip until 2022, making this 12 months behind its original production schedule.

According to Notebookcheck, Intel is also putting in place contingencies so that its chips could be fabricated by any third parties if somehow it can’t get its foundries online. On the other hand, AMD is strong with its total 7nm product line for its CPUs and APUs for desktop, laptop, and professional use.

This year, AMD is supposed to launch its 7nm+ based Zen 3 architecture and a wide range of products associated with it. Not only CPUs, but AMD is also big on GPUs as well and we would see a major GPU announcement from the company soon.

However, in its notes to its investors, Intel did end on a positive note as its 10nm based CPUs are on track. It’s 10nm based Tiger Lake CPUs for mobile will be coming towards the end of this year while the 10nm based Alder Lake desktop and Ice Lake server CPUs are supposed to be ready into action for the second half of 2021.
