Intel to ship its new 10nm CPUs in June

CAPE TOWN – Intel announced that as of June 2019, it will be shipping its new 10nm CPUs designed for mobile PCs and will be called “Ice Lake” range.

Other than delivering 2.5 to 3 times faster artificial intelligence (AI) performance over previous generation products, the Ice Lake CPUs include approximately 3 times faster wireless speeds, 2 times faster video transcode speeds, 2 times faster graphics performance.

Dr. Murthy Renduchintala, Intel’s chief engineering officer said in a statement: " While process and CPU leadership remain fundamentally important, an extraordinary rate of innovation is required across a combination of foundational building blocks that also include architecture, memory, interconnect, security and software, to take full advantage of the opportunities created by the explosion of data."

“Only Intel has the R&D, talent, world-class portfolio of technologies and intellectual property to deliver leadership products across the breadth of architectures and workloads required to meet the demands of the expanding data-centric market.”

The company stated that it also plans to launch various other 10nm products such as CPUs for client and server systems, general-purpose GPUs, and Intel’s upcoming “Snow Ridge” 5G-ready network system-on-chip (SOC).

The company also announced its plans to launch high-performance 7nm GPU for data centres, AI, and high-performance computing in 2020 and its first general-purpose 7nm product, a GPU, in 2021.
