>Where did they promise 10nm in 2012? This presentation from 2011 shows 10nm in 2017:
Your link shows 7nm in 2017, 10nm was for 2015.
>Tick/tock was a process shrink every 2-3 years. Using the more aggressive 2 year cadence:
You are confusing "Tick Tock" with "Process, Architecture, Optimization". Tick Tock is strictly 2 years cadence.
So yes 10nm missed by a large margin.
> 10 nm – 2018/2019
Intel has been making 10nm chip irrespective of yield, the current batch were months of stock piling chip before the rush to roll out in Xmas. In reality they barely got it out of the gate in 2019. And if you count Cannon-Lake as 2018, you might as well count TSMC 5nm in 2019.
>There's no way in hell tick/tock's 2007 unveil could possibly be considered "misleading investors."
There were not misleading in 2007, the executed their plan flawlessly, Intel had decent people back then. Pat Gelsinger left in 2009. It was still doing great up to 2012, Otellini retired, BK became CEO in 2013, still promising Tick Tock. That is the point where misleading investor began.
And I forgot to mention during All investor meetings Intel continue to reiterate 10nm is on track all the way until BK was gone. If that is not "misleading investors" I am not sure what is.
