Intel is accelerating its shift to 7nm/5nm to compete with TSMC and AMD

After admitting 10nm hasn't been quite the rousing success the company had hoped for, Intel's CFO says the company is targeting "much better" performance with the 7nm process node in 2021. Following that, it's shifting onto the 5nm process node at an accelerated rate to regain process node leadership from its competitors.

"...look, [10nm] just isn't going to be the best node that Intel has ever had," Intel's CFO, George Davis, says during a Morgan Stanley TMT conference call (via ComputerBase), "it's going to be less productive than 14[nm], less productive than 22[nm]. But we're excited about the improvements that we're seeing. And we expect to start the 7nm period with a much better profile of performance over that starting at the end of '21.

"...also, you know, we were at a time when, in order to regain process leadership, we had to accelerate the overlap between 10/7, and then 7 and 5. And so the cost that you're absorbing, starting in particularly '21, you've got this intersection of a performance of 10, the investment in 7 and we're also willing to start an investment of 5, all of those elements just combine to impact gross margin."
