In the last months of this year, Intel will release other processors, codenamed Whiskey Lake and Amber Lake, and also run the 14nm process.
Delaying the 10m chip showed that Intel's other rivals, for years still chasing the chip maker, were close to catching up.AMD's first generation Ryzen chip is built on GlobalFoundries' 14nm process, 2nd generation Ryzen uses a 12nm process despite keeping the physical size of its 14nm predecessor.AMD intends to sell 7nm process chips next year.
The difference between companies' processes is easily comparable - Intel's 14nm process, for example, has a higher density than GlobalFoundries.But non-Intel chips will soon overtake Intel in terms of transistor density, as chip makers such as GLobalFoundries and TSMC are constantly improving while Intel is gradually losing its power.
