Intel 10nm is better than everyone thinks

But Intel wants higher yields

People are harrying Intel for being very late with 10nm which is true, but this does not mean that Intel couldn't ship the 10nm parts today. Intel has delayed the 10nm on purpose, as it wanted to get higher yields before it shifts to a smaller node.

Of course, our well-placed sources want to remain unnamed but Intel’s 10nm delay was for a financial reason and not the inability to make a good 10nm CPU. Some might remember that Intel has many fabs and that one of the main reason why Intel got so successful in the CPU business. Managers of the fabs are good with the fab economics.

Our own Mike Magee posted that Jerry Sanders III, the former CEO of AMD, said at a conference a few years before 1999 "only real men have fabs".
