Intel desktop CPUs may be stuck on 14nm until late 2021 with ‘Rocket Lake’
Two roadmaps detailing upcoming Intel CPUs have been published online. Reportedly direct from Dell, the roadmaps indicate that the company’s desktop client CPUs will remain on 14nm until 2021 or beyond - a potentially staggering development for the company considering it was previously expected to hit 10nm volume production by the end of 2019.
The roadmaps were handed to Dutch tech site Tweakers via an anonymous tip (salt pending), supposedly snatched right out of an internal Dell presentation regarding upcoming products. One roadmap covers Intel’s client and commercial CPUs, specifically those within Intel’s Stable Image Platform Program, and the other its client mobile processors.
The desktop roadmap indicates Intel will be shifting from the current 9th Gen Coffee Lake S processors over to 14nm Intel Comet Lake S CPUs at the beginning of Q2 2020 - one whole year from now. These would later be replaced by Rocket Lake S at the beginning of Q2 2021. Yes, that could mean our gaming machines will be 14nm until late 2021/2022. That or powered by AMD Ryzen.
