By Dylan Martin July 26, 2021, 07:32 PM EDT Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger is promising that the company will return to “process performance leadership” with a new roadmap that is shaking up node naming conventions, full of new technologies and gaining the support of one major competitor. The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company revealed the new roadmap during its Intel Accelerated webcast on Monday as part of Intel’s IDM 2.0 hybrid manufacturing strategy and Gelsinger’s promise to make the company the “unquestioned leader in process technology” following manufacturing missteps that resulted with the semiconductor giant ceding ground to chip manufacturers TSMC and Samsung.
