This slide summarizeswhy Intel wants a different metric for process nodes.
We do not know which specific process nodes at Samsung or TSMC were compared against Intel's products.
A Sony PS5 intended to ship in 2019 wouldalmost certainly use either 14nm or 10nm process nodes.
Shrinking process nodes are a significant challenge for NAND flash- while most hardware improves as the node shrinks, NAND becomes more fragile.
Over the last few years, companies like Qualcomm andApple have regularly led the transition to new process nodes.
When the NAND industry switched to 3D NAND, manufacturers like Samsung fell back to older process nodes and built vertically stacked DRAM on a 40nm process. .
Five to six years ago, Intel would quickly point out that one major difference between itself and rival foundries like TSMCwas the way it talked about new process nodes.
The situation with 14nm is analogous to what GlobalFoundries and TSMC have done with their own process nodes- Intel just isn't calling it an entirely new node. .
Lower process nodes may not deliver the improvements they once did, but they still tend to lead to lower power consumption and reduced die sizes- both critical components in a modern console.
Samsung has announced early production on 8Gb(1GB)LPDDR5 modules using 10nm-class* process nodes and with a specific focus on 5G and automotive applications.
Because NAND memory built on older process nodes has larger cells and can more easily store multiple bits of data, 3D NAND's overall reliability and total number of program/ erase cycles(P/E cycles) is correspondingly higher.
With Tick-Tock still ticking along, 7nm would have arrived in 2018-2019(bearing in mind that Intel's process nodes have tended to hit more aggressive targets that map to smaller nodes at rival foundries).
GPU companies often keep low-end models around for 2-3 refresh cycles, or split the low and higher ends of the market between a suite of upper-level cards that are refreshed more rapidly,while lower-end models on outdated process nodes may bump along for a longer period of time.
TSMC, GlobalFoundries, Samsung, and Intel are all integrating EUV at future process nodes, even though major research firms are warning about high defect densities and other problems.
Expect a lot of discussion about how much it matters for AMD or Nvidia or other major companies to be sitting on TSMC's 7nm next year while Intel is deploying its own 10nm,but assuming both process nodes work properly, the gaps may not be that large.
Fabs like TSMC, GlobalFoundries,and UMC all earn money on older process nodes for chips that don't need the latest and greatest technology, with relatively low licensing costs.
But it's also a straightforward issue related to Intel's decision to aggressively push for higher transistor densities at 10nm,and the use of EUV at lower process nodes should help prevent the problem from occurring again.
The semiconductor industry has had anincreasingly hard time delivering new process nodes over the last few years, as the benefits of each new node have shrunk and the costs of adoption have grown.
But EUV is such a fundamentally different approach to what's been deployed before, it creates an entirely new set of potential problems and interactions with other materials in the manufacturing process, as well as all of the other problems associated with shrinking process nodes and finding more ways to pack transistors more tightly together.
Huawei's move to challenge moreestablished market leaders on moving to new process nodes is also a sign of the company's own maturity and intent to challenge companies like Samsung.
Intel CPUs are designed specifically for Intel process nodes, using a restricted, Intel-specific set of rules intended to maximize performance and energy efficiency on a given Intel node. .
The reason foundries continue to earn substantial amounts of revenue on older process nodes is because many customers see no benefit(and sharply increased costs) from moving to newer nodes. .
The reason we now hear so much about second-or third-generation process nodes is because everyone now expects each new SoC to offer improved performance on yearly cadences, even when those cadences don't align with foundry upgrade cycles.
Transitioning its chipset business to 14nm is part of Intel's regularstrategy to move its non-CPU hardware to older process nodes and keep fab utilization high, but it may have put more pressure on the company's foundries thanks to- you guessed it- the delays to 10nm.
The current flagshipmobile chips are based on a 7nm process node.
According to Anandtech, a shift to GlobalFoundries and that firm's 22FDX(FD-SOI) process node is responsible for the 4x capacity improvement.
This specification enables messaging systems tosupport message transmission through networks that include processing nodes such as endpoint managers, firewalls, and gateways in a transport-neutral manner.
The company's formal definition is“a process node between 10 and 20 nanometers.”.
The new chipwill be built on TSMC's 7FF process node, which is the foundry's first 7nm node deployment.
We have included both of Intel's initial 10nm slide decks below,to give some context to the company's claims about the process node and its capabilities.
