Moore's Law still exists! Intel reiterates that it will get the 5th generation CPU process in 4 years: "1.8nm" chip will be trial production soon

Moore's Law, which has affected the development of the semiconductor industry for more than 50 years, has been questioned in recent years. NVIDIA especially likes to emphasize that Moore's Law is dead, but Intel is a die-hard defender of Moore's Law. At the innovation conference that started early this morning, CEO Kissinger emphasized that Moore's Law will not die, but will live well. They will get the 5th generation CPU process within 4 years.

The five generations of processes are Intel 7, Intel 4, Intel 3, Intel 20A and Intel 18A. Among them, Intel 7 was the process first launched on the 12th generation Core at the end of last year, and the 13th generation Core will continue to be used. Next year, Intel 4 will be upgraded, and the EUV lithography process will be supported for the first time.However, Intel is really leading the process again in the 20A and 18A generations. From 20A, it will enter the Amy-level node, abandon FinFET transistors, and use GAA transistors instead, which is equivalent to the 2nm and 1.8nm levels of friends. At the same time, Intel will also launch two breakthrough technologies in 20A and 18A, namely RibbonFET and PowerVia. Among them, RibbonFET is Intel's implementation of Gate All Around transistors. It will become the company's first new transistor architecture since it first launched FinFET in 2011. This technology speeds up transistor switching and achieves the same drive current as the multi-fin structure, but takes up less space. PowerVia is Intel's unique, industry-first backside power transfer network that optimizes signal transmission by eliminating the need for power wiring on the front of the wafer.
At this innovation conference, Intel CEO Henry Kissinger also revealed the latest progress of the 18A process. There will be the first chip tape-out by the end of this year. Although he did not mention the specific chip model, being able to go to trial production means that Intel's "1.8nm" process has a very high degree of maturity.
