At this morning’s Intel CES breakfast Gregory Bryant, common supervisor of Intel’s consumer computing group, made the announcement that they’d in actual fact hit their 10nm Cannon Lake schedule and shipped the product earlier than the top of 2017. Unfortunately we have no concept whether or not he meant really delivery in product or simply sampling out to producers.
Check out our decide of the best gaming CPUs round proper now.
“As we talked about before,” says Bryant, “we mentioned we would be delivery 10nm, codename Cannon Lake, components simply earlier than the top of the 12 months. We really did that. So we started shipping our first 10nm, codename Cannon Lake, components simply earlier than the top of the 12 months and we’re on schedule to be ramping all through 2018, as we mentioned beforehand.”
Despite there being demos of the brand new Intel Vega M powered laptops, and Hades Canyon NUCs, there have been no units current that had been operating the shipped Cannon Lake CPUs. And sadly no-one might inform us what they had been really delivery in.
Right now it kinda appears to be like like the possible 10nm launch is extra papery even than the Coffee Lake launch that did occur earlier than the top of the 12 months. Well, largely occurred. For a number of individuals.
The final we heard Cannon Lake wasn’t set to reach till the end of 2018 and on condition that, regardless of Bryant’s assertions that it has in actual fact shipped, it appears to have missed the possibility to filter into the machines being launched firstly of this 12 months 10nm chips are in all probability nonetheless not prone to seem in notebooks till a lot later. And that will imply the anticipated ‘ramping all through 2018’ to truly end in them being dropped into laptops doubtless being proven at Computex for the back-to-school launch schedule and never earlier than.
We’re ready to listen to again from Intel with clarification on this.
