Posted March 3, 2016 Quote Intel is currently advancing the chip manufacturing process every two and a half years. It did so with its current 14-nanometer manufacturing process, and is expected to do so with its upcoming 10-nm process, Stacy Smith But Intel hopes to end the half-year lapse at the upcoming 7-nm process, when it hopes to return to advancing chip manufacturing every two years, Smith said. “We would like to be at two years, but we’re not,” Smith said. “We’re just watching 7-nm as being the potential time where there’s a technology shift that might allow us to get back to the two-year cadence.” This is quite a nice thing to hear so with any luck Intel will return to the tick tock cycle. Quote For Intel, keeping up with Moore’s Law and two-year manufacturing advances is expensive. The chip maker in 2015 estimated it would need to spend US$270 billion over a 10-year period on manufacturing and development, up from an estimated $104 billion in 2011. The estimate includes the cost of wafers, manpower and tools like EUV. I don't know about you guys but as for myself there's no way i would get a new CPU just for efficiency boosts, if they're going to be increasing their spending like this i'm going to want to see a serious performance boost that will make me want to upgrade from my 3770k. http://www.pcworld.com/article/3040381/computers/intel-eyes-a-path-to-get-back-in-line-with-moores-law.html LG 34" 21:9 1440p 1080ti EVGA FTW3 i7 8700k @ 5GHz 1.3V Delidded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 3, 2016 What really intrests me is this quote : Quote We’re just watching 7-nm as being the potential time where there’s a technology shift that might allow us to get back to the two-year cadence I'm pretty sure they aren't saying this without anything to back it up. Maybe , hust maybe , they have tech in development that they are fairly confident will drastically improve the 7nm process development . Could this mean intel really has something promising in the works ? Idk , just going out on a limb.

Treat others as you would like to be treated. #2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt. #3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong.

Posted March 3, 2016 Why do I feel this is a market-man talking and not an actual engenieer saying it's true thoughts on the subject....... Just release the consumer AVX 512 already, and I'll be happy. Want to help researchers improve the lives on millions of people with just your computer?

Posted March 3, 2016 This is the first time I've heard about 7nm. Probs too far off for me to worry about it though. But hey, having moore's law back would be great. Actualy performance improvements instead of being more effecient. I would rather have more performance that a miniscule amount off of my energy bill.

Posted March 4, 2016 Last I heard, EUV was going to make 7nm a lot harder than 10nm, so that would suggest progress will slow down (further) rather than speed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 4, 2016 Didn't they just finish saying it was really dead for super serious real this time like a few weeks ago? gg intel Solve your own audio issues | First Steps with RPi 3 | Humidity & Condensation | Sleep & Hibernation | Overclocking RAM | Making Backups | Displays | 4K / 8K / 16K / etc. | Do I need 80+ Platinum?

Posted March 4, 2016 From the wording, it doesn't seem like they mean silicon since they mention: 8 hours ago, Poofu said: potential time where there’s a technology shift that might allow us to get back to the two-year cadence.
