According to the latest report, it appears that Intel's new CPUs based on 10nm manufacturing process could be ready in early 2017.


While Intel talked a bit about its plans for 10nm manufacturing process during its Q4 earing report, it did not reveal any specific details or a fixed time-frame but according to the latest report from Wccftech.com, citing Taha Khalifa, Intel's General Manager for the Middle East and North Africa region, Intel's 10nm manufacturing process could be ready in early 2017.




Intel, and all other chip manufacturers, are having more and more problems in keeping up with Moore's law and while Intel has so far successfully manage to stick to its Tick-Tock strategy, there have been plenty of problems and delays with 14nm manufacturing process, suggesting that we might see the same thing with the new 10nm manufacturing process.

Currently, according to Taha Khalifa, General Manager for Intel in the Middle East and North Africa region, Intel expects 10nm chips to be launched in early 2017. Khalifa also noted that "Intel has been consistently pursuing Moore’s Law and this has been the core of our innovation for the last 40 years."




As it was the case with Intel's 14nm manufacturing process, you can expect Intel to first launch tablet and mobile parts while mainstream and performance parts are expected at a later date, at least if all goes well with the 10nm manufacturing process.

Intel has launched its first 14nm Broadwell parts last year, although these were expected in 2013 and we have still to see Broadwell-H desktop parts, although some rumors suggest that these might be even canceled in favor of Skylake architecture.

If all goes well, Intel might have its Cannonlake architecture based on 10nm manufacturing process ready for early 2017, but we are still far away from that date so entire focus is on 14nm and Intel's upcoming Skylake architecture.
