In the first half of last year, we expect the industry to start production of the first 14-nm products from Intel. In fact Intel has faced some difficulties, and mass production was postponed to the first quarter of 2014. Problems encountered automatically touched everyone who was tied to Intel company . We will not touch the computer directions. Pay attention to the cooperation of the companies Intel and Altera. According to plans , Intel had to start mass production of 14-nm SoC FPGA Altera and in late 2013 or early 2014.
Fulfillment of commitments allow possible to strengthen Intel's positions contract manufacturer. In October 2013, we have no doubt, but today, it looks not so attractive. According to the official press release Altera, at this stage of manufacture 14-nm SoC and FPGA (Stratix 10) is still at the stage of manufacture test modules and not fully ready to supply solutions.
Of course, the press release focuses entirely on the other - the superiority of the 14-nm process technology Intel over competing offers and mandatory testing phase all modules and future SoC FPGA before production began serial production.
