Intel says that when the repeatedly deferred Cannon Lake processors finally go on sale, they will be "a whole generation ahead of" compared to competitors from Samsung and TSMC. This will be achieved thanks to hyperscaling, which allows you to place twice as many processors on the same site. The new processors, which can be released in late 2017, promise a 25 percent increase in performance and power consumption, reduced by 45 percent compared to the current architecture of Kaby Lake. In addition, Intel believes that the new architecture will continue to follow Moore's law, and will also cost 30 percent less than comparable AMD chips.
Why this statement?
Intel's main rival for the production of Samsung processors is already licensed by chips built on 10-nanometer technology. For example, Snapdragon 835 is the fastest mobile processor in the world. But Intel continues to claim that they will be able to accommodate twice as many transistors in the area as compared to competitors. In the future, Intel also plans to release improved 10-nanometer technologies - 10+ and 10 ++. Of course, basically these are marketing terms that will attract the attention of consumers, until there are 7-nanometer chips. However, the company says that improved architectures will be 15 percent more powerful and 30 percent more energy efficient.
Intel reported all this within the framework of the conference Technology and Manufacturing Day. Most likely, statements were made to calm investors and buyers. Recall that Samsung and Qualcomm were the first to release 10-nanometer chips, and AMD - the new processors Ryzen, which can take part of the market share of Intel in both high and low price segment.
