| Intel plans to regain its leadership position in the chip industry in 2025 |
Intel is studying how to introduce and market its new products to the chip industry. This is demonstrated by the announcement that CEO Pat Gelsinger shared at the company's Intel Acceleration event.
During the announcement, the company talked about its upcoming five-year plan. I also talked about the processing and packaging technology of the processor. The main goal is to regain control of Intel in the field by 2025.
Intel's plan looms large with its 12th generation processors. The new 12th generation Alder Lake processors will work without complex nano-based beacons. Instead, it will take the new, simpler, and more accurate name that Intel has described.
The chip industry and Intel's plan
This name change will give users a better understanding of the brand of chips provided by Intel. It will also play an important marketing role. For example, an Intel processor with a resolution of 10 nm is called "Intel 7" so the name becomes simpler and more competitive.
Perhaps the new name is wrong and could have a negative impact on the game: since the 10nm processor will be called "Intel 7", this is only described as AMD's marketing strategy.
Intel currently relies on a 10nm manufacturing precision. But technically, this accuracy will be able to match the 7nm manufacturing accuracy of other companies such as TSMC or Samsung. In addition, Intel processors can still compete with 7nm Ryzen processors.
Intel has published its processor roadmap for the next five years. This allows the chip manufacturing precision to be renamed and specifications changed.
The new generation of Intel processors
The next generation is called Intel 7, which maintains the same 10nm manufacturing precision and will be released this year. The next generation will be called Intel 4, but it will eventually offer a manufacturing accuracy of 7 nm. Due to manufacturing difficulties, Intel is delaying its market launch until 2023.
If you look at the current generation, Intel 7 and Intel 4 would represent the second and third generation, respectively.
Intel 4 is up to 20% better than the previous generation and is expected to appear in the second half of 2022.
The fourth generation will be called Intel 3 and series production will start in 2023. It is also based on 7nm manufacturing precision and improves performance by about 18%. The latest generation is called Intel 20A and will be launched in 2025.
As mentioned earlier, each generation introduces a new name. The new naming isn't the easiest, especially not in alphabetical order, but compared to previous generations of Intel, the chip industry will see many improvements over the next five years.
