"WikiChip is happy to see Intel remains committed to furthering Moore’s Law for the foreseeable future with an ambitious roadmap."
What is Wikichip? Some sort of Intel mouthpiece? How can anyone belive an Intel roadmap at this point. At best it's fiction, at worst security fraud (according to the Matt Levine definition)
The first part of the roadmap is particularly interesting. Heading into 2021, you will notice that Intel has a new, unannounced, process “10nm+++” (note the three pluses). This is a further refined version of its 10nm node. Presumably, this will be used for Intel’s Sapphire Rapids CPU which is also planned for 2021. Intel’s 10nm, including 10nm+, has been rather underwhelming as far as the performance goes with only a single SKU exceeding 4 GHz.
Wikichip is neutral. I follow David Schor on Twitter and his coverage of the semiconductor industry is both informative and unbiased.
Btw, here’s the full paragraph from Wikichip:
“All in all, WikiChip is happy to see Intel remains committed to furthering Moore’s Law for the foreseeable future with an ambitious roadmap. It remains to be seen whether Intel can execute on this roadmap.”
Welcome to illuminati brotherhood where you can become rich famous and popular and your life story we be change totally. I am here to share my testimony on how I join the great brotherhood Illuminati and my life story was change immediately . I was very poor no job and I have no money to even feed and take care of my family I was confuse in life I don’t know what to do I try all my possible best to get money but nothing works out for me each day I shared tears, I was just looking out for my family no money to take care of them until one day I decided to join the great Illuminati , I come across them in the internet I never believe I said let me try I email them. all what they said we happen in my life just started it was like a dream to me they really change my story totally . They give me the sum of $500,000,000 and many other things as benefits. through the Illuminati I was able to become rich, and have many investments on my own and become famous and popular in my country , today me and my family is living happily and I am the most happiest man here is the opportunity for you to join the Illuminati and become rich and famous in life and be like other people and your life will be changed totally. If you are interested in joining the great brotherhood of Illuminati Visit Illuminati World Now on their official website at http://www.illuminatiworldnow.com/
14, 10, 7, etc do not matter anymore [1], because there is no metric that could correspond to that number directly. It’s all marketing nanometers. I’m all intel, but how does one estimate bs like “1.4nm for 2029”? By dividing 14nm by years passed since 2019?
Once you can process high-definition video there is little need for further performance in mass-market processors. Progress thereafter would be mainly in lowering power consumption, reducing cost, and greater integration of more functions on chip to lower parts counts.
Therefore, the business drivers must be mainly server applications in the data center.
When we can process HD video, we come up with 4K. When we do 4K, we come up with 4K HDR. When we are done with that, we'll go for higher FPS. Or surround video. And then in stereo. And then do it with voxels and multiple depth channels from different PoV's.
And we didn't even start with intelligent assistants that don't require sharing your data with a cloud-based entity.
I thought once my 20" 1200x1600 8-bit color CRT was all I'd ever need.

In the grand scheme of things high-definition video is an extremely low bar for consuming and archiving content. It's totally flat, distorted, has a fixed viewpoint, a tiny field of view, super low dynamic range, etc. It doesn't match what you would see if you were there in the slightest. It's closer to looking at a photography than to being there. We should strive to do better than that. Decoding high-def video is mainly done on the GPU nowadays anyway.
Current video is a pretty good match for the needs of advertisers, who are the major source of funding for video. There is relatively little market for video that is not either free or heavily subsidized by advertisers.
TV manufacturers are counting on 8K, OLED, and "smart TV" functions to keep volumes flat by encouraging replacements of what is a durable consumer good. LCD TVs seem to be quite long-lived.

Only thing that needs to matter anyway is performance in a suite of benchmarks
