“Intel was the first to use 14-nanometer technology at scale in 2013, according to Goldman Sachs. It won’t have 10-nanometer ready for prime time until the end of 2019 -- by far the longest wait in its history. TSMC has gone from 20-nanometer to 7-nanometer production at the same time.”
Till 14nm there was a compelling reason to manufacture in TMG, since than if you needed density, power and performance intel has been going nowhere. Moore’s Law has stopped at intel but the mantle has been siezed and carried by TSMC
Sad but true. Decided to repost this. OP by @P95FdVM-7eypi
