“Intel’s going to last until it can’t maintain its non-mobile market share and margins on chips. They’ve got a lot of fab capacity of their own. Apparently they’re still confident that they can pull off 10 nm architecture, but TSMC is already making 5 nm, and probably has 4 nm coming (perhaps in weeks).”
At what point does quantum indeterminancy start to mess with the hardware?
Always. :^)
When Intel got to 14 nm, they did it first, and were the only one for a good while. Part of this was to bleed off rogue electron debris.
