Intel has denied reports that appeared in the media today claiming that it has cancelled work on its long-delayed 10nm fabrication process. In a tweet posted to its corporate @intelnews today, the company stated: "Media reports published today that Intel is ending work on the 10nm process are untrue. We are making good progress on 10nm. Yields are improving consistent with the timeline we shared during our last earnings report." 42622w

The story about the purported cancellation Cannonlake Us due to insufficient yields. SemiAccurate did not report any information about the Cannonlake product line specifically, just the manufacturing process, leaving open the possibility that Intel could have alternative 10nm process plans and product roaps in place.

Intel has repeatedly Amber Lake and Whiskey Lake processors into its roap, all manufactured using 14nm+ or 14nm++ processes, while Cannonlake has still not shipped in volume. The current timeline that Intel is referring to has wide availability of 10nm processors slated for the 2019 holiday season.

Only one 10nm Cannonlake U SKU, the Core i3-8121U, has so far shipped. It first appeared in one Lenovo Ideapad 330 Ultrabook sold in China, and later in a pair of Intel NUC mini-PCs codenamed ‘Crimson Canyon', but has not been widely available. Meanwhile, sole competitor expects to ship 7nm server Us in 2019.
