Intel Cannonlake Troubled Before It Could Even Launch; Intel To Focus On Performance And Smartphone Business With 5G

Previous reports say that Intel's 10-nm process node is ready and will go soon into mass production by the second half of 2017 for a launch at the end of the year or early 2018 of the Intel Cannonlake processors. However, this may not happen as revealed by Intel executive Murthy Renduchintala saying that the company will focus more on boosting performance since most PC users are not particular about the manufacturing process. This could mean that the 10-nm process node may be abandoned altogether and ushering in the death of Moore's Law.
