Manufacturers may have to milk existing notebook designs even further for this Holiday season since Intel's next generation CPUs are not expected to come anytime soon. Global notebook shipments will almost surely be slower YoY as a result unless if Nvidia can surprise us with an early Turing launch.

Why not use AMD's products then?
Just bump frequency on the 8000 series with 200mhz and rename it to 9000 series. Easy.

I waited for that and all I can see on all 2700U/2500U laptops is awful battery life and bad AMD driver support.
Will go Intel 8th gen i5 and maybe an MX150, and get on with it.
Too bad HP doesn't offer the 15inch Spectre x360 in my country.
There is rumour that 10nm is dead and not commercially viable and intel has scrapped it and moving onto 7nm. If this is true it might be another 2 years of 14nm if not more, hope this is not the case.
It's clear from the heat issues with notebooks using the 6 core chips that those chips badly need 10nm production. The longer this delays the worse the sales of those chips will get as the market moves past early adopters and more reviews expose the issues. Heat kills surrounding parts so the impact is larger than just the use of the device itself. Better cooling will help, but that costs more and weighs more, two things that oppose putting more into that area. The process issues of Intel may likely harm them for years, and if they delay, it will simply be more impactful.
