A DISAPPOINTING FINALE FOR 14NM
Intel’s position as the leading chip manufacturer had relied on a clearly defined tick-tock model, where every microarchitecture change (tock) was followed by a die shrink of the process technology (tick). This has worked for them reliably all the way from 65nm to 14nm. Then came 10nm, and Intel just could not find a way to scale its 10nm node effectively – forcing them to go back
