Intel Might Be Trying to Make Up for Lost Time
Just recently, word emerged that chip giant Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) was planning to introduce another product seemingly based on a derivative of its 14-nanometer chip manufacturing technology known as Whiskey Lake to sell into the mass-market laptop computer market in the second half of 2018.
Shortly after the information about Whiskey Lake leaked, a second leak emerged indicating that Intel is planning to go into production on the successor to Whiskey Lake, known as Ice Lake, between February and May of 2019. Ice Lake is a processor that promises to include significant feature and performance enhancements compared to Whiskey Lake, thanks to a new design and the use of a denser, more power-efficient manufacturing technology known as 10-nanometer+.
