Intel's 14nm Broadwell Delayed Because of Low Yield

Posted by Unknown on from the physics-hates-materials-engineers dept.

judgecorp writes "Intel has put back the delivery of its 14nm Broadwell desktop chip by a quarter because of a manufacturing issue that leaves it with too high a density of defects. The problem has been fixed, says CEO Brian Krzanich, who says, 'This happens sometimes in development phases.'" The good news is that it is just a defect density issue. A first round of tweaks failed to increase yield, but Intel seems to think a few more improvements to the 14nm process will result in acceptable yield.

    Your exgirlfriend didn't buy that bullshit line of yours either, and now she's sucking on my 304,800,000 nanometer.
