Intel on Schedule for Mass Production 14nm Chips
14nm chips can be expected on the market sometime during 2014
As we have come to expect, Intel will be starting the production of 14nm chips this year. For the production of these chips Intel has appointed three factories that are already prepared for 14nm production: D1X in Oregon, Fab 42 in Arizona and Fab 24 in Ireland. Halfway through 2013 Intel should be sending out prototypes for testing. Intel will begin mass production of 14nm chips in 2013 and they should become available on the market sometime 2014.
The current 'Ivy Bridge' chips and the 'Haswell' chips that we can expect in June are still based on 22nm. The first 14nm chips that we can expect will be codenamed 'Broadwell'. The advantages of 14nm chips over 22nm chips include lower power consumption, possibly lower TDP, and as a result they will allow for more computing power per surface area.

Thanks! I've corrected it!
We can always start stacking processors in a 3d manor
Va a ser que no. translated: will be no...
I agree: mobile is where this move makes sense. Take into account that intel is keeping the 14nm node "in time" (-> the original tic-toc cadence) while they are alredy some months behind schedule for Haswell...
@~9nm. So two more steps; 14nm 11nm 9nm ..?
Right after sammy moves from their current 32nm node. So unless they're skipping a node and going straight for 14nm (nearly impossible), then I don't see Samsung coming out with 14nm before 2015 at the earliest.
intel doesn't believe in price reduction of older technology.
Wait what?? Not only did a member of the Tom's News team respond to a comment, he also corrected a mistake? This is a rare occurrence indeed. I want to personally thank you sir, your forging new ground for the journalistic standards of these news articles.
yeah, this is the second article of his i've read, AND THEY ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE.
Thank you Niels, you have no idea what we've been suffering...
Yeah we are getting close to the theoretical physical limit you can make a wire go down to before any amount of electrical current just jumps between circuts. i beleive the theoretical limit is like 7 or 8 nm any smaller and they will have to start spacing chips out to keep current from jumping wires and shorting the chip . in this regard i don't think 3d layering of cpu's would work , simply because of the heat dissipation issue.
honestly i think they will likely discover new technologies to push the nm size down as it becomes an issue. so far they've been managing hell no one ten years ago thought they'd bet getting down to 14 nm by now.
Intel is already ramping down production for Sandy Bridge CPUs. The last order date for most SKUs is within weeks from now with the last production and ship dates a few months further down the road. Any chips left on the market beyond that will come out of distributors' inventory, beyond Intel's ability to change prices. Distributors/vendors simply charge whatever they can get away with to people who are desperate to keep old builds alive or are too lazy to do the math and find out it is cheaper (or much more beneficial) to upgrade than fix.
If you want to buy a long-discontinued new-in-box Core2Duo/Quad from official channels, most vendors still charge the full retail price from back when those chips were new... I originally paid $240 for my E8400 and it is still listed at ~$220 on the few authorized Intel vendors that still have some in stock.
While the prices may not be going down much anymore, at least the performance/price and features/price ratios are still improving.
