The new Intel 4 with 7nm nodes is getting ready to go into production

In the second half of 2022, this new company node will begin mass production.

If a few months ago Intel had said that famine forecasts would last until 2024, today’s DigiTimes Intel 4It will be equivalent to 7 nm, which will use EUV lithography, will begin mass production in the second half of 2022. This new change of mind surfaced a month ago during the IEEE VLSI symposium where the North American company prepared us for “semiconductor manufacturing node reduction”.

we are talking about 20% performance increase 40% if we are talking about maintaining the same energy consumption or the same frequency. On the other hand, thanks to this lithography, The density of the transistors is doubled. Compared to Intel 7 (i.e. 10nm ESF). This news comes as a breath of fresh air as Santa Clara has struggled for years to catch up with the “race against Moore’s Law.”

With this, the new node will be central to the production and prosperity of the Meteor Lake series. 14th generation Granite Rapids, which will correspond to processors for consumers and processors for companies. While all this was going on Raptor LakeBuilding on the 13th generation of consumer processors and seeing the potential of Meteor Lake (compared to the Ryzen 7000, without going any further), this other generation, inter-series padding. Either way, this kind of news is always good. the market continues.
