It appears that Moore’s Law<\/a>, a staple in the production of CPUs since 1965, is slowly being overturned by the continual delays Intel is experiencing with their forthcoming CPU families.<\/p>\n

The launch of Intel’s first 10nm chips, codenamed “Cannonlake”, will be delayed as a result of the increasingly difficult task of creating and managing smaller and smaller transistors, making it the second time in a row an Intel CPU series hasn’t been released in accordance with the two-year Moore’s Law cycle.<\/p>\n

Intel’s Broadwell, Haswell and Ivy Bridge chips were all\u00a0similarly delayed\u00a0and behind schedule, and Cannonlake will be no different, with its new release date set for mid-2017.<\/p>\n

Intel\u00a0CEO, Brian Krzanich, had this to say in regards to the matter,\u00a0“the last two technology transitions have signaled that our cadence today is closer to 2.5 years than two.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

To address the lack of 10nm CPUs and make sure a chipset is in development, Intel has stated\u00a0that it’s going to release new 14nm\u00a0“Kaby Lake” chips, which are based on the soon-to-release Skylake architecture.<\/p>\n

And it’s impressive architecture at that<\/a>. In fact, the Core i7-6700k “Skylake” is around 29% faster than the chip it replaces, the i7-4790k “Devil’s Canyon”.<\/p>\n

Krzanich further said,\u00a0“we expect that this addition to the roadmap will deliver new features and improved performance, and pave the way for a smooth transition to 10-nanometer.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

In addition to this, Intel also admitted that PC demand was weaker than expected for the latest CPUs.\u00a0However, they feel that the\u00a0July\u00a029th launch of Windows 10\u00a0should provide a surge in market interest.<\/p>\n

Despite all of the negative PC talk, Intel pulled out a\u00a0decent $13.2 billion for the quarter. So they aren’t doing too badly.<\/p>\n

We excitedly are waiting for the chance to\u00a0get our hands on Skylake in the next six months, hopefully.<\/p>\n
