Intel, a company listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange, recently announced its latest earnings report. The financial report shows that Intel collected $19.2 billion in the third quarter of 2019. Overall, Intel’s earnings report was in line with analysts’ expectations, so Intel’s share price rose more than 7% to $55.95 per share after the market opened.

This type of process is also Intel’s first application of extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV), based on this process will be applied to the graphics card products in the data center.

“We’re ramping a multitude of products. We have increased confidence in 5-nanometer. And as we mentioned for 7 and 5 getting back to a two-and-a-half, two year cadence is what we’re focused on and we’re confident in the future,” Swan said. As for more specific information on the 7nm and 5nm processes, Intel did not disclose it. If the 5mm nanometer is not postponed according to the strategy, it will be launched in 2023.
