China could catch up with industry leaders in semiconductor technology in around 10 years, according to an analyst from IDC. The country can currently produce 14- to 16-nanometre chips.

Samsung's 14nm DRAM, based on the latest DDR5 standard, will be capable of managing increasing 5G and AI workloads. The company's five-layer EUV process offers the industry's highest DRAM bit density.
Intel initially planned a release for its 10nm-based chips back in 2015-16 with Cannon Lake but that didn't happen. However, 10nm yields are finally improving says Intel at its Q2 2021 earnings call.
Intel's desktop Comet Lake-S lineup is coming up really soon and slides from the marketing material of the product have leaked. They highlight what we already have known from previous leaks.
Leaked slides from Intel reportedly detail the company's upcoming 14nm Comet Lake-S lineup of desktop processor models, as well as new features that we can expect from the platform.
Today, Intel announced the other half of its 10th-generation mobile processor lineup, which is the 14nm Comet Lake family. Like Ice Lake, there are variants from the U-series and the Y-series.
To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the x86 architecture, Intel's first 5GHz Coffee Lake-based desktop chip, the i7-8086K is now on sale, but with only 50,000 units slated for retail availability.
During its earnings call yesterday, Intel announced that it will once again delay its 10nm processors, and will instead produce another 14nm generation that's codenamed Whiskey Lake.
Samsung has confirmed today that it has started mass-producing 10nm chips, to be used in upcoming devices like the Galaxy S8. Samsung is also rumored to be manufacturing Qualcomm's Snapdragon 830.
Intel has unveiled its new line of Broadwell-E processors, designed for gaming and VR. The top-end of this already powerful line packs 10-cores and all the chips are unlocked for overclockers.
Whereas Broadwell was a tick in Intel's "tick-tock" release cycle, Skylake is a tock, which means the same manufacturing process along architecture improvements. On hand today is the Core i7-6700K.
Until now, Intel has released two generations of chips for every manufacturing process. But the current 14nm chips will see a third gen thanks to manufacturing issues with the 10nm process.
Broadwell is the 14nm die shrink of Haswell, bringing a smaller die and lower power consumption, along a few minor tweaks. Today we have the flagship model on hand, the Core i7-5775C.
While it has yet to be confirmed, there could be a delay in Intel's next CPU codenammed 'Skylake'. The new processor which was set to make its debut in Q2 of 2015 has now been delayed until August.
