I-Intel yenza ushintsho emishinini yayo yokukhiqiza ukuze intuthuko ekwakhiweni nasekukhiqizeni ama-chips ayi-10nm ingenzeki ngesikhathi esincane. Imodeli yamanje yolayini wokukhiqiza izohlala kuze kube nguNovemba, kepha kusukela lapho kuqhubeke, imigqa emithathu yomsebenzi izokwabelana ngenqubekela phambili ekwenziweni kwama-chips.
Lolu shintsho lokukhiqiza luhambisana ne- esikhundleni seNhloko Yezokukhiqiza kanye Nobuchwepheshe be-Intel, uSohail Ahmed, ozoshiya inkampani ngemuva kokuthatha umhlalaphansi ekupheleni kukaNovemba. USohail Ahmed uzoshiya le ndima, ngemuva kokuthatha lesi sikhundla esikhona njengamanje ngo-2016.
Siyazazi izindaba ngemuva kokushicilelwa kwe- The Oregonian. Lo mbhalo uveza ushintsho ohlelweni lokukhiqiza emaqenjini amathathu angaphansi: ezobuchwepheshe, ezokukhiqiza nokuhlinzekwa kwempahla. Ngalo mqondo, abaphathi abazongena ezikhundleni yilezi: UMike Mayberry, kwezobuchwepheshe. Umbumbulu uzoholwa ngu-Ann Kelleher, onamava njengomsizi esiteji sika-Ahmed. Ingxenye yokuphakelwa izodidiyelwa nguRandhir Thakur. Yonke le ndawo izoba nesibopho nomxhumanisi UVenkata Renduchintala, njengamanje ongumqondisi wobunjiniyela nomphathi omkhulu we-Intel.
Kubiza inkampani ngaphezu kokulindelekile ukuguqulwa kwe- ama-chip kusuka ku-14nm kuya ku-10nm. Ukubambezeleka kwesibikezelo bekuhlale kwenzeka, kuze kube sekuphakelweni kwamayunithi ambalwa futhi kunokuhluka okumbalwa. Isimemezelo sokuqala sokwenza kutholakale kumakhasimende we-10nm chips ngezinsuku ze-Intel kusuka ngo-2016, lapho siqeda u-2018. Isibikezelo samanje ngu-2019, kepha ngaphandle kokucacisa okuningi maqondana nosuku oluthile.
Phakathi kwezinkinga ezingenzeka ze-Intel, kudlula kwesidingo esedlula umthamo wokukhiqiza, iqiniso ebelizoholela ku-Intel i-outsource chip yokukhiqiza ku-TSMC. Esikhundleni salokho, owokugcina ubonakala engaphambi kwakhe ne Ukukhiqizwa kwe-chip engu-7nm kuma-iPhones amanje. Inzuzo yokusebenzisa i-10nm noma i-7nm chips ilele ekusetshenzisweni okuphansi, izinga lokushisa eliphansi, nasekugcineni ukusebenza.
