In the wake of the news from DigiTimes that Intel‘s (NASDAQ: INTC) first chip manufactured in its 10nm technology, known as Cannon Lake, would be delayed yet again to the end of 2018, my conviction that the chipmaker faces fundamental manufacturing technology development issues has never been greater.
The silver lining to all this has been the company’s rather smart move to continue to refine its more mature manufacturing technologies and bring to market new products based on those products.
