Intel is once again experiencing trouble with its next-generation, 10-nanometer processors – codenamed Cannon Lake – pushing their release back to late 2018, Digitimes reports.
This is far from the first time that Intel’s Cannon Lake processors have reportedly run into setbacks, first set to release in 2017. According to Digitimes’s supply chain sources, which appear to have been accurate up to now regarding Intel’s movements, this would be the third time that the Cannon Lake will have been pushed back.

First, they were pushed to the end of 2017 or early next year, then to mid-2018 and now to the end of next year.
Cannon Lake is expected to see considerable gains in performance (25%) and reductions in power consumption (45%), thanks to shrinking the transistor size from 14nm – where Intel’s processors are now and have been since its first Core M chips in 2014 – to 10nm.
However, the firm clearly has experienced trouble fabricating the teeny transistors at a mass scale. That is, so as to reliably produce enough of the chips to then sell to its numerous device-making partners, like Dell, HP and Apple, to name a …read more
