Bojim se da bude na kraju od Intelovih 10nm priča i obećanja, ostalo samo to - priče i obećanja, jer trenutna situacija je definitivno nezavidna, neovisno o tome koliko se trude sve skupa prikazati kao nešto što ide po planu.

Intel: CPU Shortages Will Persist Throughout Q3 2019

During its Q1 earnings call, Intel provided an update regarding its 10nm process technology as well as the ramp up of its Ice Lake-U processor for notebooks, which is the company’s first 10nm design that will be mass produced and broadly available. Qualification for the new processors has already started, so systems based on Ice Lake-U will be available by the holidays, as promised. Furthermore, Intel believes that it will be able to ship more 10nm parts than it originally anticipated.

Although Intel invested some additional $1.5 billion to boost its 14nm fab output last year, it looks like its supply problems are not going to be solved until the second half of this year.
The company admitted on Thursday during its earnings conference call that supply challenges will persist throughout the third quarter.

Apple Held Talks With Intel About Buying Its Smartphone-Modem Chip Business

Apple held talks with Intel about acquiring parts of its smartphone-modem chip business, a potential multibillion-dollar deal that would accelerate the iPhone maker’s efforts to develop wireless technology for its devices. The talks started around last summer and continued for months before halting recently, around the time Apple reached a multiyear supply agreement for modems from Intel rival Qualcomm. Intel is now exploring strategic alternatives for its modem chip business, including a possible sale—to Apple or another acquirer. Selling the modem business would allow Intel to unload a costly operation that was losing about $1 billion annually.
