Over the years, chip makers have moved to smaller and smaller processor nodes in an effort to fit more transistors into a smaller space to improve performance and efficiency. But different manufacturers use different technologies, so what one chip maker calls a 7nm processor may not have the same characteristics as a competitor’s. Now Intel […]

Lilbits: Intel’s 10nm Ice Lake Xeon server chips, Google’s wearables/hearables, and Lenovo’s next weird phone
Intel’s had a hard time ramping up production of 10nm chips, but after delivering two generations of laptop processors manufactured using a 10nm process, the company is finally introducing its first 10nm server chips. The new 3rd-gen Xeon Scalable processors feature Sunny Cove CPU cores based on the same technology as the 10th-gen “Ice Lake” […]
Intel’s first Tremont chip is the Atom P5900 10nm processor (for networking products)
A few months after officially introducing its new “Tremont” architecture for energy-efficient processors, Intel is unveiling some of the first chips to use the new technology. The Intel Atom P5900 series processors are 10nm chips with 8 to 24 CPU cores, base frequencies of 2.2 GHz, and support for up to 128GB of DDR4-2933 MHz […]
Intel aims to be making 1.4nm processors within a decade (Update: maybe)
It took a few years longer than expected for Intel to make the move from 14nm to 10nm processors… and the company still hasn’t completed that transition. Only some 10th-gen Intel Core chips are manufactured using a 10nm process, while others are 14nm chips. But according to a presentation slide from one of Intel’s partners […]
Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 Ice Lake laptop now available for $1000 and up
Intel’s 10th-gen Core “Ice Lake” processors are the company’s first 10nm chips to enter mass production, following years of delays. The company officially launched the new chips a week ago, and starting today you can buy the first laptop powered by an Ice Lake chip. The new Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 was the first Ice […]
Intel launches the first 11 Ice Lake chips (10th-gen Intel Core Y and U-series processors)
Intel announced that it was shipping the first 10th-gen Intel Core processors based on its 10th-gen “Ice Lake” architecture in May. Now the company says more than 35 laptops and 2-in-1 tablets powered by the chips are on the way, with the first models set to begin shipping soon. Among other things, Intel says they’ll […]
Intel’s 10nm Ice Lake chips shipping now, PCs coming later in 2019
Intel’s new “Ice Lake” processors are the first 10nm chips the company is producing in mass volumes, and the first to feature Intel Gen11 graphics, which the company says offers up to twice the performance of Gen10. Ice Lake chips will be the first members of Intel’s 10th-gen Core product lineup, and they’re relatively low-power […]
Intel says 10nm Ice Lake laptop chips offer up to 2x better graphics
When Intel’s Ice Lake processors ship later this year, these laptop processors will feature a number of first. They’ll be the first Intel 10nm chips to be produced in large volume. They’ll be the first members of Intel’s 10th-gen Core family. And they’ll also be the first chips to feature Intel Gen11 graphics. How big […]
Intel roadmap: 10nm chips in June, 7nm in 2021
Intel is finally preparing to begin shipping 10nm chips in large volumes. The company says it’s on track to ship its new 10nm “Ice Lake” processors for laptops starting in June, and we could see Ice Lake-powered computers in store shelves this fall. It’s taken Intel a long time to get here though — for […]
Intel: Laptops with 10nm “Ice Lake” processors will ship later in 2019
It’s taken longer than planned, but Intel hopes to begin the move from 14nm chips to 10nm chips later this year. As part of the company’s quarterly earnings release, Intel said we can expect computers with 10nm Intel “Ice Lake” chips to hit stores in time for the 2019 holiday season. The first Ice Lake […]
