IEDM 2017 + ISSCC 2018: Intel’s 10nm, switching to cobalt interconnects

Overview
The major features are:

>2.7x density over their 14nm
>3rd generation FinFET transistors
>Self-Aligned Quad-Patterning (SAQP)
>Contact-over-active-gate (COAG)
>Cobalt local interconnect, vias, and trench contacts
>Cobalt interconnect liners

Design Features
Intel’s 10 nanometer largely builds on many of their existing technologies.

>2nd generation Low-k spacer
>3rd generation of fully depleted FinFET transistors
>5th generation High-k metal gate
>7th generation strain silicon
>Self-Aligned Quad Patterning (SAQP) for the critical patterning layers (3 critical layers)

THANK YOU, BASED INTEL!

You forgot that part where it's 3 years late and even GloFo has denser SRAM.

Nobody gives a fuck. Call me when there's a performance difference in programs, Jew.

FIX MELTDOWN AND SPECTRE FIRST

Buying Zen 2 or whichever AMD has the first in silicon fix. Then intel won't see me for another 4 years before I replace the PC again.

GloFo is all hype no working product as yet

So like every other fab besides maybe TSMC? Because at least QC is sampling modems built on N7 right now.

Forgot the part where intel purposely rigs his processors with backdoors

are they preparing a cobalt bomb?

Literally everyone does that you retarded stalldrone.

EUV in 2020+ lmao, enjoy your quad patterning costs stupid kikes.

>all that fancy shit
>still less performance and density than TSMC and GloFo, both much smaller companies

TSMC? Much smaller?
What the fuck dude.

TSMC revenue per quarter is under 10 billion.

Intel is over 16 billion.

Applied materials has been pushing cobalt for a while now.

One is pure play foundry, the other is not.
TSMC is waaaay bigger of a fab than Intel could ever be.

Everyone will be utilizing quad patterning and silicon wafers will be increasing in price.
Get ready for price hikes.

>GloFo has denser SRAM
Citation needed.

Wafer price barely impacts the end products.
Also both TSMC and GloFo are going SADP for metal stack so...

...

>Intel's 10 nm transistor gate pitch: 54 nm
>GF's 7 nm transistor gate pitch: 56 nm
They're equivalent.

...

GloFo's own IEDM paper.
It's somewhere on WikiChip, even.
Are you retarded?

GF's 7 nm is equivalent to Intel's 10 nm.

And according to , Intel's 10 nm has 19% more transistors per area than GF's 7 nm.

You should research better.

With such small SRAM I wouldn't actually be surprised if AMD fits in 256MB L3 in EPYC2

I can't believe it. A good thread on Cred Forums. I can die in peace now.

Do you guys think intel managed to improve yields so much that they can release 10nm or do you believe that intel speeded things up when zen was released and will be selling 10nm products without any profit or even under the production costs to reduce AMDs sells?

Intel's 6T SRAM and HD cells are also 16% and 20% less dense, respectively.

These figures are public, they're both close, but Intel mask count is significantly higher and they're not getting EUV until 2020 or '21
All in all, bad showing from Intel.

Not to mention the delays upon delays of the process.
Intel has always been touted as the most advanced fab (2-3 years in front of everyone else) and should have been held to a higher standard, but not anymore

IBM 5nm on the way so why should I give a fuck

Thats still 3-4 years out.

256MB of personal data accessible through side channels
noice

You meant GloFo 5nm, right?
Also that's not a thing until 2021

Still better than Intel

Is use the CELL from a ps3 if they didn't make it worthless by killing rsx access

>rsx access
what's that and what's cool about it?

The Nvidia GPU in the console.

Rsx is the ps3 gpu, which is Nvidia based, which ironically was gimped in the process of manufacturing and is why they went with and this time (as with MS for the same reason)

OtherOS, when run, will be only off the CELL PPC and nothing else (except ram and there's 256mb available)

Mind you it's still a server grade cpu and you can do things with it but without a gpu what's the point

They will
The pricing will be appropriate, too.
Vanilla 10 is DOA.
10+ may be alive but it's mid-2019 at best.
B-but muh Co for M0/M1. M-muh hyperscaling!

>Cred Forums now shills for glofo for some reason
i'm guessing they fab AMD's shit since AMD is too poor to own fabs

>2+0 at 2GHz and 15W

Pathetic

You forgot the pic

>dodging the question
aka "yes, glofo fabs AMD's shit"
also "i am an AMD shill"

^this.
Isn't everyone headed to 7nm? Who gives a fuck.
^this. BTFO
^this. BTFO
^this. BTFO
^this an their shit yields makes it a null factor.

A couple of more points to add :
No one of intelligence whose budget conscious is buying intel's overpriced bullshit anymore. At the higher range, there is a dam near 80% premium. I don't give a fuck about the limits of Moore's law beyond fabs that are obviously keeping pace with it. What I can about is performance/$. No one gives a fuck if intel is using unobtainium for interconnects. If it doesn't translate to better performance/lower power/less $$ then the can fuck right off. How about these niggers invest in peripheral tech like RAM so their consumers aren't spending more than a fucking processor for system memory?

Why yes, GloFo fabs AMD's shit, it also happens to be better than Intel, can't get much worse than a 4 year process delay.

Did you take your meds BK? Gonna be hard to explain SB-tier power efficiency from CNL

>he's such a paranoid schizophrenic autist he thinks i'm some guy he argues with

Hi BK!
Where's Cannonlake-EP/EX?

Worse, you're a frogposter.

>reeee dont' post the face of the four chins
where do you think you are

do you think this is still your sekrit club for gigaloser anime addicts

Where's CNL-EP/EX?

That's nice, get back to Cred Forums you dumb frogposter.

> posting all this technical bullshit that no one cares about because the pricing/performance/power utilization will be jewed and nigger tier thus nullifying all of it.
> posting frog once BTFO

if it won't reach 120 Celsius degrees passive then i will be disappointed

>technical bullshit that no one cares about
Get back to Cred Forums you fucking nigger

>ree it's the Cred Forums boogeyman
I'm from /biz/ - the rich version of Cred Forums

You guys did make at LEAST one million from crypto, right?

I owe old Cred Forums a big debt for my gains

Wow, calm down your tits sweetie.

I'm calm faggot. Just stating the obvious you shade-tree material/fab engineers don't seem to grasp.

Explain how any of Intel's bullshit process engineering has lead to industry leading performance/power util to PRICE in recent times.

> I'll wait
> resulting in no one giving a fuck

>N-word

Grow some skin, nigger, this isn't your hugbox.

Neither does Intel.

Another process node discussion thread ruined by Cred Forums retardation.
Oh well.

Or TSMC or Samsung.

>e-everyone is j-just hype! why isn't a technology made for 2019(2015 for Intel) here right now! HYPE HYPE IT'S JUST HYPE

That's how retarded everyone sounds.

>Vanilla 10 is DOA.
It's probably useful for mobile processors, having lesser power consumption. Just because it doesn't push performance doesn't mean it's totally useless for anything.

>2+0 15W with 2.2GHz base clocks
Literally dead on arrival.

>It's probably useful for mobile processors,
It's not useful for anything because it's stillborn garbage, it only exists so Intel can say "we shipped 10nm look! just ignore that the chip is less efficient than fucking SB!"

twitter.com/TMFChipFool/status/946974924115193856

That would seem to contradict their claims of 60% better power efficiency than initial 14nm.

>Isn't everyone headed to 7nm? Who gives a fuck.

Yes, everybody is just waiting for EUV lithography which will bump them to 7nm and possibly 5nm.

In the meantime they are hyping up any last bit of improvement they manage to squeeze out of immersion lithography, but that's a dead track.

2+2 has been spotted recently though.
Remember when 10 was scheduled for late 2015? Me neither.

What comes next after 5nm?

5nm+

3nm, then maybe 2/1nm and after that we need something to replace CMOS.

>Guys I swear we will have 10nm out this year
I'll believe it when I see it.

But does it fix Meltdown and Spectre?

Doles 7nm fix Meltdown adn Spectre for AMD? NO! Then stop whining you little dumb fag

1 planck length

It does, AMD promised silicon-level mitigations for both in Zen2, which is 7LP.

Possibly nothing due to quantum limits.

>Meltdown adn Spectre for AMD

AMD doesn't have Meltdown. Please leave Cred Forums. That being said, I'll send you a picture of my Ryzen 2600 purchase. :^)

Or you can just move away from CMOS.
Because, you know, CMOS is hella fucking old.

to what?

General AI enginereed magic 50-100 years from now.

That remains an open question.

It's less about shilling and more about hating Intel.
