Intel has announced record earnings in the second quarter of 2018 which we have covered here. During the earnings call, Intel revealed details on their 10nm process and the related products which are now expected to be introduced in the fall of 2019. Aside from that, Intel also confirmed plans to release new 14nm products during the current and upcoming year which we will detail in this post.

Intel Announces 10nm CPUs and Systems in Holiday Season of 2019, New 14nm Products Coming Soon

Starting with 10nm, we all know about the production woes Intel is facing with this specific node and has already gone through several delays. We were expecting the first products this year but looks like Intel will now be launching 10nm CPU powered systems in the second half of 2019. The exact timeframe is mentioned around holiday season which puts it close to fall 2019 to be exact.

According to Intel, the first 10nm CPUs would go under mass production in the first half of 2019. This means that 10nm CPUs will be under High Volume Manufacturing next year. Some products may launch by the end of this year but they would still be branded under the 8th generation CPU branding due to yields being of low volume.

We continue to make progress on 10-nanometer.Yields are improving with the timelines we shared in April.And yes, you're quite right.The systems on shelves that we expect in holiday 2019.

So good progress on 10-nanometer and what we think is a very good lineup on the 14-nanometer product for next year on both client and server that we think will deliver best-in-class performance as we continue to ramp 10-nanometer.

While Intel is aiming for 10nm CPU launch on the consumer front by the end of 2019, the year will still see major products based on 14nm process node. We know that the 10nm server products are not expected till 2020 with the Ice Lake Scalable Processor family and 2019 would see Cooper Lake Scalable family serving as an intermediary solution between Cascade Lake-SP (14nm) and Ice Lake-SP (10nm). We might get to see a range of desktop or notebook aimed processor lineups available during the fall which make sense for a holiday season aimed lineup but for the workstation/server segment, 10nm is only to be expected in 2020. A recently leaked roadmap also confirms this which you can see over here.

As for the desktop, high-end desktop and server market, 14nm is here to stay till 2019. On the mainstream front, Intel has plans to deliver a new 14nm S-series processor lineup which is going to be branded under the 9th generation family for desktop PCs. We know from leaked details that the Core i9-9900K will be the flagship processor of this lineup and would feature 8 core and 16 thread configuration which is same as AMD's current generation flagship, the Ryzen 7 2700X on the mainstream front.
