EUV applied for 22nm chips at earliest


Finally, a truth on bad hardware. No Intel's EUV before 22 nm litography. And that might be in the year 2013, if we are big optimists. Left is an SANDIA LAB experimental EUV wafer. However, I wonder will this 130mm? wafer be more productive than the 450mm ones made by standard light sources tools ? In the meantime, what is Intel's weapon for destroying rising AMD ?
A few years ago it was assumed to be just ... EUV in 2007, than in 2009, now who knows when. I must warn you that from 22nm to 13nm what is EUV wavelenght there is only one interim generation , that one of 18nm. But, is EUV technology worth bothering at all, for only 3 usable generations? However, after this latest EUV delay, I am not so sure about it.
