For a long time Intel has followed Moore's Law and put the development cycle of new processors each two years. Today, production norms is much more complicated, with the result that the usual strategy was stretched, and one of its longer cycle takes at least two and a half years.
Intel has made it clear that every effort will support the continued existence of Moore's Law, and, according to Computerworld website, the company still does not lose optimism. Back to the two-year cycle Intel intends to technology development 7 nm, which will provide the necessary impetus to the process.
This impetus should be deep ultraviolet lithography (EUV). Interestingly, the EUV-equipment can be done at the stage of introduction of 10nm technology,.
Experts estimate that in the next ten years, Intel will spend $ 270 billion on research, development and production. In 2011, the amount of the costs estimated at $ 104 billion.
