content: Intels problem isn't 10nm itself, its their designs happen to be gigantic and monolithic meaning if any one component of the CPU die has a flaw then the likelyhood of the entire chip being trashed is stupid crazy high especially for the larger i5, i7, and Xeon chips. Thats why all they can reliably put out is 15 watt dual core low 2ghz i3's on 10nm. 10nm is up and running, it works they have proven its a viable technology the problem is how they have just been blind to the problems of their design philosophy because of how marketing has put all emphasis on new hardware accelerating old software. They need a shakeup just like the Centrino team delivered in 2003, their best hope was their Atom or Larrabee teams to design high core count small size processors to actually use 10nm effectively. What a shame Larrabee got nuked from orbit and what was left went into the perpetual go nowhere Xeon Phi also basically shut down and they have just closed up shop on everything Atom about 2 years ago focusing all of their cheap and small gearing towards Pentiums which are effectively cut down versions of i3's. TLDR: Intels up shit creek, with no paddle boat or concerned friends that might raise an alarm when they haven't returned on time.
