Intel's D1X Oregon fab first to get 7 nm production node

[Redaktion]

It is now clear that AMD will be first to launch 7 nm desktop CPUs, but Intel is not sitting on its hands. Even after all the problems it faced in 2018, Intel is now carefully planning for its upcoming 7 nm CPUs.  According to sources from Oregon, the D1X fab will be the first one to manufacture 7 nm CPUs, and the facility is currently going through an expansion that will take at least 1.5 years, so the first 7 nm CPUs from intel could arrive in late 2020.

Since it's 18 months just of building (starting mod year) and several months of getting the fab ready (that usually means 6-12), it's probably at least late 2021/early 2022 for a first consumer product to hit the market

Isn't every Intel node denser than the TSMC node with the same nomenclature? Don't know if Intel's 10nm will match TSMC's 7nm though.
