In the quarterly reporting conference Intel traditionally completed session responses to analysts' questions, which gave us an interesting material for several news.
Regarding the timing of the appearance on the market of 14 nm products, Intel representatives stated that customers already receive samples processor Core M (Broadwell), and the first serial mobile devices based on them will be available by the end of the year. Only in the 2015 range of processors Broadwell will be expanded beyond the mobile segment.
Atom processors Cherry Trail will be presented before the end of the year in 2015, the family will be Broxton, Intel also promises to present in 2015 generation processors Skylake. From previous leaks we know that the announcement Skylake scheduled for the second quarter of 2015. First on the market will appear processors Broadwell.
Broadwell processors , according to Intel executives , will allow to create laptops with silent cooling systems deprived of fans. This, presumably, is moderately productive laptops, but not the most economical, expensive and delicate.
On the timing of transition to 10-nm technology Intel executives declined to speak in detail, saying only that appropriate plans can be announced in the next year. To answer the question about the possibility of using an intermediate stage between 14 nm and 10 nm Intel representatives avoided. Along the way, it was said that Panasonic may not be the only customer for which Intel will produce chips on 14-nm technology - the ability to jump on this train has many clients, although some of them have preferred to talk about the 10-nm process.
