Title: WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE ????
Post by Oldfeller on 05/17/14 at 04:25:10

First, this is really a presentation slide, not a picture. It portends to be the future of Intel over the next 2 years with some funny naming details submitted for this year and part of next year.

It claims to have some 14nm lithography again, something which had totally disappeared from Intel's vapor pushing plans whenever they burned up their 14nm line a few months back, but 14nm lithography has now returned to the second blue part of the 2 year vapor trail being pushed by Intel.

Still, even for a first exposure of a vapor plan, some grievous errors are showing plainly again, things that spell technology doom and big loss leader pricing for two more years yet.

So, what do you see that is wrong with this picture ????

Justin, it is the same exact complaint Intel has had leveled against it for the last 3 years running.

Separate CPU/GPU/Controller/Radio parts, lots of them that all have to be separately mounted on a larger motherboard.

No on chip integration for very much of anything at all.

Motherboards choked with extra parts that the other guys simply don't need.

Intel can't build a phone chip at all right now and it is becoming increasing clear they really can't build an space and energy efficient tablet chipset either.

But they do have lots of money to throw at it to be able to sell it to you at way below their mgf cost just to get you to buy it.

I begin to question (after Intel has worked on this for 5 years now) if Intel really has what it takes to build modern style integrated and efficient microchips.
