For the few intel fanbois and circuit koolaid drinkers. The x86 Moore's Law virtuous cycle is over. If all companies execute as they claim the three year lead of Intel's is gone in 2018. Those in Oregon know that real recovery situation 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
The bottom line, contraction and more ACTs are all but inevitable, sorry that fate can't be changed especially by the clown BK 😉

"Conclusion
Intel's 14nm process is significantly denser than the competing processes from GF/SS and TSMC, >1.5x. It has taken roughly 3 years for SS and TSMC to introduce 10nm processes that are only slightly denser than Intel's 14nm process.
Later this year when Intel introduces their 10nm process they will again take the process density lead, ~1.7x denser until TSMC's releases their 7nm process with slightly better density.
When TSMC introduces their 7nm process they will have a 1.13x density advantage over Intel's 10nm process. In late 2018 Samsung is later expected to introduce their 7nm process with 1.23x the density of Intel's 10nm process, also later in 2018 TSMC will introduce 7+ with a further density improvement.
Intel's 10nm is more similar to TSMC and GF/SS 7nm processes than to the competing 10nm processes. Even though Intel has a significant density advantage at each node the forthcoming 7nm foundry process will likely pass Intel for process density and maintain that yield for at least a few years"
