“Raja will help accelerate Intel to 10nm transition and since he worked at Apple, ATI and later AMD / RTG he has quite a knowledge of the challenges.”
“It is no big secret that Intel got lazy with its CPU Core roadmap. Intel’s inability to move from 14nm to 10nm has definitely become a problem. AMD got back in the game with Ryzen, Epyc and soon the Raven Ridge Mobile Ryzen.
Intel got very lazy and lost the ability to move from the 14nm node. Let me refresh your memory. Broadwell, a 14nm variation of Haswell, Core 5000 series launched in 2014. The 14nm Skylake Core 6000 series came in August 2015. The 14nm Kaby Lake was "launched" in January 2017, the 14nm Kaby Lake R in August 2017 and the 8th Gen Coffee Lake in October 2017. Ice lake in 10nm has at least been taped out, but, of course, it is far from shipping.
10nm and going forward
Intel promised the Cannon Lake 10nm in 2017 but that didn’t happen. This process has been delayed for years now. Raja will work with Dr. Murthy Renduchintala to fix this problem.”
Too funny
