CTOnews.com October 28 news, Intel today released the latest set of financial results. Intel's third-quarter revenue was $15.338 billion, down 20 per cent from $19.192 billion in the same period last year, while net profit was $1.019 billion, down 85 per cent from $6.823 billion in the same period last year, according to the report.

At the earnings meeting, Intel also announced the latest progress of its chip process, reiterating their previous goal of realizing the five-generation CPU process of "Intel 7, Intel 4, Intel 3, Intel 20A and Intel 18A" within 4 years.

According to reports, Intel 4 is moving towards mass production, and the company expects to complete the streaming of Meteor Lake in the fourth quarter, the last step of the 14th generation Coolie processor from the design stage to early production, and the processor and OEM customers' products are expected to be available in 2023.

Kissinger said the Intel Granite Rapids Xeon series of processors will be based on the "Intel 3" process, and samples have been flowing out and are being tested across SKU systems with partners.

In addition, Intel 3 is continuing as planned. On Intel 20A and Intel 18A, Intel's first internal test chip and a major potential contract customer's chip have been tested with products under production.

In other words, thanks to the latest RibbonFET and PowerVia technology, Intel's next-generation 20A and 18A process nodes are progressing smoothly, the first internal test chip is already in the laboratory, and there is a "potential" big customer whose next-generation products have finalized their process in the process.

CTOnews.com learned that Intel 4 is the first generation of Intel EUV process, and the subsequent Intel 3 is also based on EUV lithography.

According to Intel, the transistor density of the Intel 4 HP high performance library can reach 160 million / mm2, which is twice that of the current Intel 7 process, higher than the 130 million / mm2 of TSMC's 5nm process, and close to TSMC's 208 million transistor / mm2 of 3nm.

Compared with the Intel 7 process, the frequency of the "4nm EUV" process is increased by 21.5% and the power consumption is reduced by 40% at the same power consumption, which will mark a major leap in transistor performance and density per watt. Intel expects Meteor Lake CPU sales to grow in 2023.

As a result, Intel hopes to regain its lead in 2025.

Elsewhere, Kissinger said Emerald Rapids, a next-generation data center and server product, is expected to be launched in 2023 and will be available on the same platform as the Sapphire Rapids chip, while Granite Rapids, which is scheduled to launch in 2024, is up and running multiple operating systems across multiple configurations.

In addition, he also mentioned the Sierra Forest of full E-Core design. He said the design would lead to "world-class" performance per watt, which is also expected to be launched in 2024.
