For nearly the last ten years, Intel has released its processors adhering to a scheme called "Tick-tock", however, according to the annual report of the company, such a strategy has lost its relevance. Now, instead of having to change the manufacturing process generation every two cpus, Intel company will be releasing on the same process technology three processors generations .
The withdrawal from the scheme "Tick-tock" will take place later this year, when the chips Kaby Lake processors will become the third in the 14-nm transistors, after Broadwell and skylake. This is due to the difficulties mastering the finer process technology. In the future, Intel also plans to release at least three processors generations . The new scheme is called Process Architecture Optimization (Process, Architecture, Optimization), or as it is called the Western media - "Tick-tock-tock". Intel, report says:
"We expect an increase in the time during which we will use 14-nanometer manufacturing process, and which will need to move to the new 10-nm process technology, the further optimization of our products and technologies, but we will continue to release new products every year."
Now it is difficult to say exactly how Intel's new strategy will affect the end-user. The new approach involves a slower technology development , and now we have even longer to wait for some significant changes in performance and power consumption. Related Products :
