元器件交易网讯 2月13日消息，据外媒报道，英特尔为手机设计的14nm工艺进程一拖再拖，第一批芯片可能到第四季度才生产出来。
这款名为Broadwell的14nm芯片预计在第一季度就会发售。而英特尔的第一款名为Cherry Trail的14nm手机芯片到2015年才会上市。英特尔14nm工艺的延迟令Altera十分担忧，因为英特尔答应今年提供后者14nm芯片。
台积电已经量产20nm芯片并且有可能在第四季度生产16nm的FinFET工艺，这样形势下英特尔在处理器上已经没有任何优势了。最近一直在传言Altera正与台积电商议放弃英特尔的晶圆转而投向老伙伴台积电。（元器件交易网 白玉涛译）
以下为外文：
Intel"s 14nm process is said to be further delayed and the first chips off it will not now appear until Q4.
The prior expectation had been that Intel"s first 14nm chip called Broadwell would be sold in Q1.
Intel"s first 14nm first mobile processor called Cherry Trail will not now hit the streets until 2015.
With TSMC already in volume production on planar 20nm, and possibly starting production on 16nm finfet in Q4, this means that Intel no longer has a process advantage.
Intel"s 14nm delay must be worrying Altera which had been promised access to the process this year.
Rumours have persisted lately that Altera is talking to TSMC about ditching Intel as a foundry and returning to its old foundry partner -TSMC.
