Intel (Intel) last month in a recruitment announcement on its website, suggested the company 10 nai metric Cheng Jing piece will start mass production since the announcement about two years. But the company immediately remove the related content, emphasize the information is wrong, but at the same time also confirmed that Intel's first 10 metric cheng chemical products will be appeared in the second half of the 2017 formally.
Although Intel in the personal computer (PC) processor market still have certain advantages, but the company must continue to innovation, research and development of more innovative products, the new chip continued progress in terms of performance, endurance, and new features.
Although the global PC market under the extrusion of smartphones and tablets are shrinking, but still must put more energy, Intel is committed to improved the efficiency of the processor, in order to enhance the attraction of the new PC.
For Intel, continuous innovation in addition to maintain its reign as the dominant in the PC market, what is more important to the company the main growth momentum, the meaning of the data center market. Although Intel at present the main profit source in PC chip manufacturing technology, but really can make Intel chip technology glowing areas are in the data center market.
Analyzes believed that the new process is expected to bring Intel is quite obvious, the advantages of smaller transistors in addition to less energy consumption, also can let the Intel architecture on more processing core, this is out of reach for in the past few create process. In addition to be able to deal with the core architecture in more, new integration process will also allow more additional components, such as accelerators, such as temporary memory.
Given customer concerns the construction of data center of the key factors is the size of the total cost (including electric power, space and cooling system, etc.), when the new process can significantly improve processing efficiency per watt, customer to adopt new processors will process will increase greatly.
, analysis that Intel is unlikely to launch in 2017 10 nai metric process server processor chip products, at the appointed time may release of a new generation of server processor chips should be 14 nai metric of the second generation products. But if Intel in the second half of the 2017 release of 10 nai metric cheng PC processor chip market welcome and efficiency has improved greatly, do not rule out the slowest in 2018 first half will have asked the related server products.
Intel is unable to forecast in 2017 the second half of the 10 nai metric the processor chip production scale; If can at the beginning of the production of straight up, means that the Intel in 10 metric cheng technology has been relatively mature, will have enough experience to start the server chip development, and cast in the first half of 2018 the production; In contrast, if 10 nai metric distance flat PC processors early production scale, the forecast until the second half of the 2018 fastest server products, will appear more likely the schedule will be around September 2018.
