- Lo mkhiqizo uzoba iphrosesa yezithombe eklanyelwe ukusheshisa ikhompuyutha kumasistimu eseva.
- Ukukhiqiza nge-watt ngayinye kuzokhuphuka ngo-20%, ukuminyana kwama-transistors kufanele kuphindwe kabili.
- Ngo-2020, i-Intel izoba nesikhathi sokukhulula iphrosesa yehluzo engu-10nm.
- Kuze kube ngu-2023, izizukulwane ezintathu zobuchwepheshe benqubo ye-7nm zizoshintsha.
I-Intel isanda kubamba umcimbi womtshalizimali odizayinelwe ukufaka ukuzethemba ezingqondweni ezipholile, ezinengqondo ze-CPU kanye namandla kanjiniyela we-GPU ezobuchwepheshe nezezimali. Yebo, yebo, abamele i-Intel abanake kancane uhlobo lokugcina lwezingxenye emibikweni yabo kunamaphrosesa amaphakathi.
Ekuphishekeleni TSMC
Isikhulu esiphezulu uRobert Swan ukhulume nabatshalizimali mayelana nesiqondiso se-Intel kanye noguquko jikelele, kodwa futhi wakubona kudingekile ukusho ukuthi inkampani izotshala izinsiza ezibalulekile ekugcineni ubuholi bayo kubuchwepheshe be-lithography. Kukho konke ukungathí sina, inqubekelaphambili ye-Intel kule ndawo yaqhathaniswa nempumelelo ye-TSMC. Amaphrosesa okuqala e-10nm Ice Lake amalaptop azokwethulwa ngoJuni, amaphrosesa weseva ye-Ice Lake-SP azovela engxenyeni yokuqala ka-2020, lapho i-TSMC izohlinzeka amakhasimende ayo ngenkuthalo ngemikhiqizo engu-7nm. Nokho, ngo-2021, i-Intel ilindele ukukhipha imikhiqizo yayo yokuqala engu-7nm - ngaleso sikhathi i-TSMC izobe ikhiqiza imikhiqizo engu-5nm.
Ngokuvamile, main IPhini likaMongameli uVenkata Renduchintala ukhulume ngezimpumelelo ze-Intel ekuthuthukisweni kobuchwepheshe benqubo ye-7nm. Kodwa okokuqala, wachaza ukuthi inqubo ye-10-teknoloji izonqoba izizukulwane ezintathu ekuthuthukisweni kwayo. Eyokuqala izoqala kulo nyaka (lokhu akubali umzamo wangaphambilini weCannon Lake), owesibili uzoqala ngo-2020, kanti owesithathu uzobe usuvele ukhona ngokuhambisana nenqubo yezobuchwepheshe ye-7-nm ngo-2021.
Ubuchwepheshe besizukulwane sokuqala senqubo ye-7-nm buzophinda kabili ukuminyana kwama-transistors uma kuqhathaniswa nenqubo ye-10-nm, kukhuphule ukusebenza kwe-transistor ngo-20% ngokusebenza kwe-watt ngayinye yamandla asetshenzisiwe, futhi yenze inqubo yokuklama ibe lula izikhathi ezine. Ngokokuqala ngqa, i-Intel izosebenzisa i-ultra-hard ultraviolet lithography ngaphakathi kohlaka lobuchwepheshe be-7 nm. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukwakheka kwe-Foveros okuhlukile kanye ne-EMIB substrate yesizukulwane esisha kuzokwethulwa esigabeni esifanayo.
Ubuchwepheshe benqubo ye-7-nm ngokwayo, ngokwesethulo se-Intel, izophinde idlule ezigabeni ezintathu ekuthuthukisweni kwayo, kube nentsha evela minyaka yonke, kuze kufike ku-2023 ihlanganisiwe. Ubuchwepheshe be-7-nm buzosebenzisa ngokugcwele isakhiwo esivumela amakristalu angafani ukuthi ahlanganiswe ku-substrate eyodwa-okubizwa ngokuthi "ama-chiplets."
Izibulo kubuchwepheshe benqubo ye-7nm lizoba yisixazululo sehluzo esicacile
Umkhiqizo wokuqala okhiqizwe kusetshenziswa ubuchwepheshe be-7nm kufanele wethulwe ngo-2021. Sekuvele kwaziwa ukuthi lokhu kuzoba iphrosesa yehluzo yenhloso ejwayelekile ezothola ukusetshenziswa ezikhungweni zedatha nezinhlelo zobuhlakani bokwenziwa. Yize i-Intel ike yamelana nokubiza i-"Intel Xe" ngokwakhiwa kwezakhiwo, yilokho kanye abakwenzayo ekwethulweni kwabo abatshalizimali. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi izibulo le-7nm lizohlanganiswa kusuka kumakristalu ahlukene futhi lizosebenzisa izindlela zokupakisha ezithuthukisiwe.
I-Intel igcizelela ikakhulukazi ukuthi ngaphambi kwalokhu, kuzokhishwa iphrosesa yehluzo eqondile ngo-2020, ezokhiqizwa kusetshenziswa ubuchwepheshe be-10nm. Kungenzeka impela ukuthi izokhawulela ububanzi bayo besicelo engxenyeni yabathengi, futhi i-Intel izosindisa inguqulo ye-7-nm yengxenye yeseva. Njengoba kuphawuliwe ekuqaleni, ama-GPU ahlukene e-Intel azosebenzisa ukwakheka okuzuzwe njengefa kuma-graphics cores ahlanganisiwe. Umanduleli wale mikhiqizo kuzoba imidwebo yesizukulwane se-Gen11 i-Intel ezobe izakha emikhiqizweni eminingi ye-10nm.
Lapho sekuyithuba leCFO entsha ye-Intel, uGeorge Davis, washesha ukusho ukuthi ekuphishekeleni ukuthuthukisa izimfanelo zabathengi bemikhiqizo ngesikhathi soshintsho lusuka ku-10-nm kuya ku-7-nm process technology, inkampani izozama ukusebenzisa imali ngobuhlakani. Nokho, ngemva kokufunda kahle inqubo yezobuchwepheshe ye-7-nm, ukukhululwa kwezizukulwane ezintsha zemikhiqizo kufanele kuqinisekise ukukhuphuka kwemali engenayo ethile yabatshalizimali ngesabelo ngasinye.
