Intel’s CEO Fires Back at 3nm Delay Rumors

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger addressed rumors this week that the CPU giant is delaying products built using its own Intel 3 and TSMC’s N3 (both in the 3nm class) manufacturing technology. bottom. The CEO re-emphasized that all the 3nm projects announced so far are scheduled for release in 2024.

“The 3nm program is on track, and both TSMC as well as our internal Intel 3 programs, particularly Granite Rapids and Sierra Forest, are on track.” Said Gelsinger at the company’s Intel Capital Allocation Update conference call. “I’m a little surprised that some of these rumored discussions have come up. You may notice there was a similar discussion with Intel 4 a few months ago…”

So far, Intel has disclosed three products that will be manufactured using 3nm class manufacturing technology.

Internally, the company will produce datacenter-oriented Granite Rapids (based on high-performance cores) and Sierra Forest (based on energy-efficient cores) processors on the Intel 3 node (previously known as 5nm). It’s a schedule. This manufacturing process is essentially a refined version of the Intel 4, but with better performance per watt, higher drive current, reduced through resistors, and a dense high-performance library. All of these features are especially beneficial for data center class processors, but via resistance reduction is also beneficial for mobile CPUs. Meanwhile, so far Intel has only internally disclosed two of his products set to be manufactured at his 3nm class node.
