Intel's previously-unannounced Intel 10A (analogous to 1nm) will enter production/development in late 2027, marking the arrival of the company's first 1nm node, and its 14A (1.4nm) node will enter production in 2026. The company is also working to create fully autonomous AI-powered fabs in the future.
Intel's Keyvan Esfarjani, the company's EVP and GM and Foundry Manufacturing and Supply, held a very insightful session that covered the company's latest developments and showed how the roadmap unfolds over the coming years.
Actually, the 1nm.... tech node is just like a new product label. We can time 0.7x to create next node name. TSMC CC Wei answered similar questions in his Yale speech recently.
It's BS. Author incorrectly equated "production" to wafer volume shown in graph. Impossible 10A production same year as 14A. By same logic, according to same graph, 18A has secretly been in production since at least 2023. These early wafer starts are obviously development wafers, not production.
Only significant thing here is that it has an external name now - 10A. Yes, it is logical to expect a node named 10A at a similar timing as tsmc A10 roughly 2-3 years after 14A, maybe ~2029.

.. Seems author is paying attention. All instances of "production" just changed to "production/development".
If I was editor, I'd just change to "early wafer volume" or "development wafer starts". "Production/development" is just word salad without any meaning.
