On the earnings call, Intel CEO Bob Swan said the company had identified a "defect mode" in its 7nm process that caused yield degradation issues. Those delays have allowed its competitors, like AMD, to wrest the process node leadership position from Intel for the first time in the company's history. Intel's new plan centers on gaining another 'full node' of performance from its current 10nm node, meaning 10nm may have longer legs than the company expected when it announced last year that it would accelerate 7nm production. Intel's new plans to more aggressively leverage external fabs could result in it using other fabs for its core logic, like CPUs and GPUs, which the company hasn't done in the past.	./cache/www-tomshardware-com-2541.html	./txt/www-tomshardware-com-2541.txt
