Rumor: Intel Abandons 10nm for desktop. Will go for 7nm in 2022

With all the talk of 10nm coming to desktop, it now appears that may not happen. Given the disaster this has been for Intel, I can't say I'm too shocked.

Additionally, it is claimed that Intel cannot achieve the desired clock frequency they require for Ice Lake desktop CPUs on the 10nm node, plus the volume of 10nm manufacture is significantly lower than 14nm, so Intel would not be likely to fulfil its supply demands. The fact no engineering sample of Ice Lake-S or Tiger Lake-S CPUs have been seen yet, further cements this rumour according to hardwareLUXX.

I will say this: AMD had better keep their foot on the gas. They need to have something great ready to go by 2022.
