If it is on track then one would expect at least a description of that track, but all I see is dates related to 10 nm and that was years late. They cleverly skip that by not offering a hard date but stating 'four years after 10 m', but that's not yet a done deal.

Intel is still in the planning stages of manufacturing capacity and there is zero proof that there is an actual POC or workable process yet to mass produce 7 nm devices at all, which is going to be much harder than 10 nm to get to acceptable yield.

I'll park this one right next to 'home fusion' and '5cts / KWh installed Solar Power' until there is more proof, I would be quite surprised if there really are mass produced devices for consumer use anywhere in the next 5 years, if the 10 nm experience is any guide somewhere in the next decade is more realistic so this isn't really news.
