10nm Problems Slip Ice Lake to 2019: Whiskey Lake Adds Another 14nm Product to Intel's Road map

摘要

Quarterly earnings calls are a truth serum for public companies, as the CEO must respond to investor questions without making any misleading statements that could result in shareholder lawsuits. After announcing record revenue for 1Q18, Intel's Brian Krzanich (BK) admitted the company's 10nm technology is in worse shape than previously disclosed, with high-volume manufacturing slipping entirely out of this year. This delay means the 9th Generation Ice Lake products won't appear until sometime next year. We recently predicted that most Ice Lake products would launch in 2019 but held out hope that a few would ship this year.
