In-Depth: Intel's 10nm was definitely NOT too ambitious

[Markfw]

One small excerp from the article where they talk about delays all over the place and TDP bumps:

"It would be one thing if that bump pushed Cooper over the top and had it win some benchmarks but, well, it doesn’t. The 64-core AMD Rome based Epyc 7xx2 CPUs win almost everything handily even against the mythical dual die Cascade-AP line, if you take TDP into account things just get far worse. And as AMD has shown with the 32-core Threadripper 3, and the Epyc 7H12, AMD can up the TDP to 400W+ with ease and crush anything Intel can offer by an even wider margin. The fact that AMD has not responded to the TDP wars should tell you everything you need to know about the TAM of this space and market acceptance of the dual-die line."

Now if that doesn't say that their 10 nm was too ambitious, then why all of this ?

SAQP was too ambitious. This is already known. /thread

Don't know if 10nm is the cause, but Charlie from Semi Accurate published an apocalyptic piece about new Intel delays.

Maybe Charlie being himself was the cause!!
