The first 14nm test chips are beginning to roll out the door from foundries, and companies are beginning to trumpet their success. But before anyone pops the champagne corks, there are some caveats.

One of the longstanding trends in semiconductor manufacturing has been a steady decrease in major foundry players. Twenty years ago, when 180nm manufacturing was cutting-edge technology, there were no ...

It is no secret that Intel has struggled with 10nm, and this has led to massive struggles now with 14nm delivery and fulfillment. Intel has apologized over the past two-plus years for their shortages ...

Just 5 years ago, Intel was the undisputed leader in silicon production. With the best in-house fabs, the company was at the forefront of the latest production nodes. Unfortunately, time has not been ...

For months, there's been speculation around the future of AMD's Zen CPU, as well as questions regarding the state of GlobalFoundries 14nm process technology. While the foundry initially canceled its ...

Intel has been refreshingly honest about its beleaguered progress with the 10nm process node, which was delayed many times, allowing AMD to gain an advantage with its 7nm Zen 2-based family of ...

Intel is struggling to make enough 14nm chips to satisfy the demand it has created for itself. Normally that would almost be a cause for celebration - yay, we're so popular we just can't make enough ...

Normally, Intel launches one new microprocessor every year. But Intel is quietly signalling that PCs shipped during the holiday 2017 season could feature one of two new designs, using either its aging ...
