Intel does deep dive into state of 10, 7, 5 nm at UBS TMT conference

Posted: 15 Dec 2019 08:44 AM PST

Intel's Murthy Renduchintala, Group President of Technology, Systems Architecture & Client Group and Chief Engineering Officer, just gave a 40 min fire side chat on the state of its production processes. You can listen to the webcast below, just give them any random name, company name, and email:

Intel Corp UBS TMT webcast

Topics covered were 10 nm, 7 nm, 5 nm, Optane, and supply shortages.

~15 min mark key reasons for 14 nm shortage:

Proportion of server volume in high performance, high core count categories higher than ever expected
Expected PC sales decline -3% to -2%, instead PC sales were -1% to 0%
A major partner gave intel 100% of their modem production instead of the planned 50%
Shifted PCH production to 14 nm

~31 min mark, 10 nm remarks:

10 nm technical challenges are over, now on high volume ramp
10 nm+ follow-on to Ice Lake (10 nm in his lingo) coming "early next year" (not clear if that's production or sale)

Other important remarks:

Major lesson from 10 nm delays was to make node design rules easier so that architecture people can migrate faster
The mixed node situation will continue into the future and designs to move away from monolithic. Key savings comes in not having to scale the non-core-logic components with each new node. Previously this was consuming ~50% of R&D spending at each scaling!
7 nm will start with GPGPU but all product segments (ie CPU) will have products out within 1 year of intro.
Capex as a % of revenue has decreased from >30% in 2015 to ~25% next year. This despite $1 billion increase in R&D spending per year.
Ice Lake server still coming end of 2020. The early 2020 10 nm+ part doesn't sound like it's server (probably Tiger Lake mobile).
