In 2021, Intel announced that the output of its 10nm process surpassed 14nm and became the main force in shipments. At the same time, the process cost was greatly reduced by 45%, laying the foundation for mass production. In recent years, Intel has continued to polish the 10nm process, and now the cost of the 10nm process is That's down another 8 percent from a year ago.

At last week's financial report meeting, Intel mentioned the progress of several of its processes. CEO Kissinger confirmed that the unit cost of the 10nm process has been reduced by 8% - the 10nm mentioned here should be Intel 7, which is the beginning of the 12th generation Core. 10nm ESF enhanced version process used.

According to Intel, more than 35 million processors made on the Intel 7 process have shipped.

In addition, the upcoming 13th-generation Core Raptor Lake will also use the Intel 7 process. As Intel becomes more and more mature, it will not only upgrade to 24 cores and 32 threads, but also set a new high in frequency. 5.5GHz acceleration frequency is not a problem, the limit is It should be able to hit 5.7GHz or even 5.8GHz, which is also the result of process optimization.

If you add the advantage of 8% lower cost, the 13th generation Core should theoretically be cheaper and more competitive.
