Quote:The company is already looking to the future, however, and today revealed the codename for the 9th generation of processors that will follow. In Intel's 3-step 'Process-Architecture-Optimisation' cadence, Coffee Lake will represent a second optimization stage following the current Kaby Lake. Succeeding this will be Cannonlake, which will be a new process - and Intel's first to shrink the die to 10nm.
This will be followed by the 9th generation of Core processors, representing a new architecture phase under the guise of Ice Lake. These processors will "utilize Intel’s industry-leading 10nm+ process technology."
It's still unclear as to how the 10nm+ process will differ from the 10nm process in Cannonlake, though we may gain a better picture of the company's future plans at their unveiling of Coffee Lake on August 21.
