https://wccftech.com/intel-bets-big-on-10nm-and-beyond-reduces-scope-of-intel-cooper-lake-the-upcoming14nm-xeon-platform/ > Intel has confirmed (via a scoop by ServeTheHome) that they will be drastically reducing the scope of a major upcoming server platform based on the 14nm process. The reason? the company wants to dedicate all its resources to the transition to 10nm. While this news is going to be received with mixed feelings as far as investors are concerned, we feel that this is a step in the right direction as the company needs to rip the figurative band-aid on and move to 10nm post-haste if it wants to defend its market share. > What this essentially means is that Intel will only be providing its Cooper Lake line of 14nm Xeon Scalable processors to large clients that usually deploy 4S and 8S configurations (think Facebook). Availability to the general customer has essentially been terminated. This is something that will likely make a big change in the market dynamics as far as servers go. Here's the catch though, Cooper Lake as a 14nm platform was added as an intermediary before 10nm when it seemed like the delays would mount higher and higher - and therein lies the silver lining.
