Intel 7nm line has non-economical yields and is effectively a failure. They’re backporting their 7nm designs on to older processes at huge penalty to buy time for a new approach while putting out a couple flagships on the 7n line at a loss for appearances.

At least that’s the word on the street.

I think this is the 10nm process you are talking about here.

That's had a bunch of issues and is only now producing their premium mobile CPUs.

The 7nm issues aren't great but if it weren't for the 10nm disaster they aren't really more than normal slippage at this point. If it keeps slipping then they have problems.

The problem is they delayed to develop process twice(14nm and 10nm), who believes next 7nm would come on schedule?
