Is it "misleading" or is it just MILD himself being ignorant because he doesn't know the difference between "manufacturing readiness" and "high volume manufacturing" and then a "product release"?
E.g. TSMC N3B Fab claimed "volume production" in December 2022, which may be considered as the HVM stage. And the first actual product available, that is Apple A17 bionic, has to wait until 9 months later to come.
Intel 4 officially claimed manufacturing readiness in December 2022 too(check the Ireland Fab news) and it is the stage before the HVM stage. We had to wait for another year until December 2023 to see any actual meteor lake products.
So for Intel 18A, which will be manufacturing ready in 2024H2, is it normal to assume that Pather Lake will only come out in 2025H2? It is completely normal. Meanwhile considering the whole product line updates, if arrow lake is set to launch in 2024H2, there is no reason to replace within it's 1 year life time. This is not rocket lake, which is a temporary filler for the significantly delayed Intel 7 and Alder Lake generation. Rocket Lake is supposed to be a failed product and thus only had a few months life time. Arrow Lake is NOT.
If MLID doesn't understand anything about how Fabs and semiconductor industry work he can just shut the fxxk up
