Intel 10nm Cannon Lake CPUs Delayed Until Late 2018

HBM has a major advantage of consuming a lot less power. Given that the Vega is already using more power than the Nvidia equivilent, if Vega used GDDR the power demand would be pretty insane.

Absolutely. If it were no HBM2, RX Vega 64 would have been even slower.

I thought they have been making them for a while but had problems getting good yields?
I guess this is just Intel selling the few chips rolling off the production line that are actually working.

It sounds like that, In the article it states they're having problems with the on board graphics at 10nm so it's been turned off.
Hopefully they're also working hard on a revamped architecture without the Spectre weaknesses for the next gen.

Hard to see any appeal with that cpu to be honest. IGP is one of the appeals of a small chip like that.

Lower clock speed, same core count, same TDP, without an IGP...

I guess "upgrade" has a different meaning at Intel.

I guess they are trying to sell each and every chip out of the wafers, no matter what condition those are at...

Groundbreaking new cpu that is...err..

 

[Destination]

Does it work on the same chipset?

An update to the OP:

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/26/intel-earnings-q2-2018.html

It looks like Intel has pushed mass production of 10NM CPUs from 2018 to 2019.

In the second-quarter results, Intel said that its 10-nanometer yields are "on track" with systems on the market in the second half of 2019. Krzanich's previous perspective wasn't specific on whether they would arrive in the first half of next year or in the second half. On the conference call with analysts on Thursday, Swan was more specific and said products would be on shelves in time for the holiday season.

Considering CFL MK2 is being released in the next month or two,I do wonder when 10NM desktop CPUs will be released??

Apparently holiday season as defined by Google is:

(in the US) the period of time from Thanksgiving until New Year, including such festivals as Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa.

That would mean November 2019.

The Intel CEO said this recently too:

When asked about the future of Intel’s 14nm (we’re up to 14nm+++ at this point, if Intel continues to use that metric), Murthy notes:

[W]e found tremendous intra-node capability within our 14-nanometer process. In fact from the very first generation of our 14-nanometer to the latest generation of 14-nanometer product, we’ve been able to deliver over 70% performance improvement as a result of those intra-node modifications and desirable changes. And that’s quite frankly Harlan has given us the ability to make sure that we get 10-nanometer yields right before we go into mainstream production. And so, therefore we’re comfortable with the 14-nanometer roadmap that will give us leadership products in the next 12 to 18 months, as we seek to optimize the cost structure and yields of our 10-nanometer portfolio.
