Intel Launches Ice Lake–First CPU Family on 10nm Process
Intel's Ice Lake CPU for the data center is better late than never, and promises performance advantages across AI, 5G and crypto workloads.

Intel has finally launched Ice Lake, the first CPU family to be built on the integrated device manufacturer's (IDM) delayed 10nm process technology. Ice Lake, which is the second family of third-generation Xeon Scalable parts, promises a 46% performance increase on common data center workloads, compared to second-generation parts, Intel said.
Ice Lake was announced at CES in January 2019. At that time, availability was scheduled for 2020. Production delays due to a difficult transition from 14nm to 10nm account for this delay, though Intel will be hoping this first device off the new production line puts any doubts about the new 10nm process to bed.
Intel is rapidly ramping up production of Ice Lake. At least 200,000 parts have already shipped for revenue in Q1 2021, including to numerous cloud service providers, more than 50 ODMs and OEMs, at least 15 telecoms equipment manufacturers and 20+ high performance computing (HPC) customers.
