With the introduction of 10-nm process, Intel has decided to be more careful, therefore announced an increase in cycle strategy tick-tock from two to two and a half years. So, in July this year at the balance sheet press conference, CEO Intel - Brian Krzhanich - reported that the updated processors Skylake represented products Kaby Lake will be released in the second half of 2016, and the 10-nm processors Cannonlake start in the second half of 2017.
According to information received, the first mobile version of the 14-nm processors Kaby Lake - something like Skylake Refresh - may begin to appear in August 2016 (with models for Ultrabooks and thin laptops). However, the desktop processors and mass mobile processors will not be submitted until February, and even up to April 2017. This schedule reiterates situation with Broadwell and Skylake. If mass production of desktop and mobile solutions Kaby Lake will have the first half of 2017 instead of the second half of 2016, the yield of 10-nm Cannonlake and logical move for at least six months - until 2018 or even for a longer time. Intel representatives have openly admitted that the delay in the release of Broadwell was erroneous strategy. This means that the company will try to take a break between the release of Kaby Lake and Cannonlake.
Excluding all, the delay in the production of 10-nm processors for the first time allow TSMC and Samsung companies overtake on Intel manufacturability . TSMC and Samsung, recall, promised to start mass production of 10-nm solutions before the end of 2016 - a year and a half ahead of Intel. It also means that the SoC on ARM processors outperform Intel's manufacturing excellence that will give an advantage in the mobile ARM platform and, more importantly, in the server segment.
