> Considering they are talking about full-on manufacturing in about a year, they should be pretty far along

When they say "manufacturing ready" in 2024, that doesnt mean you will be able to purchase anything built on those nodes next year. Intel 4 was manufacturing ready last year, but final chips being available isnt expected until the end of this year (and availability of final chips is usually months before you can buy, for example, a laptop with one in it).

If these milestones aren't verifiable maybe we shouldn't be reporting and commenting on them.

Its of course not possible to know what will happen in the future, but the particular topic this article is about was announced by Intel during their Q322 earnings release:

"Intel 20A, 18A: First test chips have taped out"
