Process slow on 14 nm have been fully reflected, not only the initial Broadwell family dragged on, and skip the desktop market, this year after Skylake launched the third generation based on the technology of product Kaby Lake, in the Intel Tick - Tock development strategy is the first time.

In fact, Intel are apparent, generous to admit that in the past two generations of technology development experience indicates that Tick - Tock cycle has extended from two years to about two and a half years.

Therefore, Intel will introduce in the second quarter of 2016 the third generation of 14 nm technology products, namely Kaby Lake, it will be on the basis of the Skylake do key performance enhancements, and full of a good groundwork for the transformation to 10 nm process.

In the second half of 2017, Intel will release the first 10 nm technology products, code-named Cannon Lake.

So again in the future? In 2018, according to the latest roadmap of exposure, we'll see "Ice Lake", in 2019, is a "Tiger Lake", is still 10 nm, that is to continue to use three generations!

7 nm, 5 nm work have been launched, is the earliest in 2020, 2023.

TSMC said 7 nm will in the second half of 2018 began trial production, and then 2 to 5 nm in two years and for the first time use EUV extreme ultraviolet light, Intel completely caught.

Look is bullish, but don't forget, TSMC is always superior in terms of publicity, the recent generations do not have a in time, and just started our facty, distance between production and equipment listed have one or two years.
