Intel Clarifies on 10nm Desktop CPUs: Still on the Table, Likely in 2021

Nice way to give up market share Intel. Desktops are still more common in enterprise than laptops for a few key reasons. Cost, repairability, harder to walk off, easier to manage.

harder to walk off

You mean harder to steal?

You can say anything, but the roadmap is telling. You have been working on a process for 5 years now that's only slated for a 9 month production run before the next process is outed(maybe).

As of May 2019, Intel plans to release 10nm+ in 2020, and both 10nm++ and 7nm in 2021.
Each of these nodes will be used for more than 9 months, probably 2-3 years at least.

I wouldnt hold my, breath on 7nm from intel, they took 5 years for 10

Typical Intel damage control.
Wanting people to sit still and wait for them.
Hopefully AMD takes advantage as much as possible, and hopefully strips away a lot of market share off Intel, as they deserve this opportunity with its superior ZEN design.

As some other sites have mentioned, Intel recently added Ice Lake support(including Ice Lake-X(!)) to the Linux kernel, this comes in addtion to the recently added support for Tiger Lake (mobile and desktop parts) in their GPU drivers. This is actually very solid evidence that Intel are testing out early engineering samples and are preparing to release these products, unlike the various "leaks" from garbage sites like WCCFTech and various opinionators on YouTube.

Personally, I'm most excited to see Ice Lake-X up against Threadripper 4(?).
