Intel 10 nm Ice Lake-SP Server Processors Reportedly Delayed
Intel 10 nm products have seen massive delays over the years, and Intel has built many IPs on the new node, however, not many of them have seen the light of the day due to problems the company has experienced with the manufacturing of the new node. That has caused delays in product shipments in the past, meaning that the time for 10 nm is just ahead. According to the latest DigiTimes Taiwan report, we have information that Intel is going to delay its Ice Lake-SP server processors manufactured on a 10 nm node. And it is going to be a whole quarter late according to the report. Instead of launching in Q4 this year, we can expect to see new processors in Q1 of 2021. It is yet unknown whatever the launch will happen at the beginning of Q1 or its end, however, we will report on it as we hear more information.
Update: DigiTimes has also released another report regarding server shipments. It is reported that server vendors are decelerating the shipments as they are making fewer orders in Q4 to wait for the new Intel CPUs. Judging by this move, the demand for these new processors is going to be rather high and the supply chain is preparing slowly for it.

Told ya. But its coming guys, really! This time really really!
( Yeap, a little melodramatic but for how much longer are they going to keep ignoring EPYC? )
Just anutha reason for me to stick with my i9-9900k until Zen 3 launches, hehehe :clap:
I think the management should be fired, especially the current CEO and some technical guys should take their places.
Instead... they lean on a single small car built like the one meant for 40 people. Strange, indeed. The writing has been on the wall for how long now? And surely they've also realized time is not on their side... I think they're stuck between a rock and a hard place in that sense, betting hard on their own fabs and now left with no other escape because all better nodes are booked to capacity.
But I was wondering why is there so few EPYC server models compared to Intel?
Even now when AMD is so much ahead with PCIE 4.0. For example Supermicro models. Does everyone wait for Intel approval?
You know what the definition of insanity is, right? Doing the same thing over and over again expecting something to change? Well, maybe Intel needs a shrink... you know, both kinds. :laugh:
