INTEL SHOWS OFF THE 10NM CPU

Okay, maybe “shows off” is an optimistic way to describe Intel’s demonstration of its sometime-in-the-future 10nm process CPU. Brian Krzanich simply used the big stage of CES to show the processor playing back a video. We didn’t actually see the chip, let alone touch the laptop that presumably contained the chip. But still, it’s got a 10nm process. Intel has been stuck on a 14nm process for a few CPU generations, and AMD will finally be joining the 14nm club when it goes retail with Ryzen this year. So, yes, call us nerds, but even a 10nm tease is something to be excited about.
