Another setback for 3D computer processors
Posted: Tue Oct 19, 2021 1:24 pm
Intel has removed its "Lakefield" processors from the market after a very short period, and has no plans to resume sales. They were the first processors with "three-dimensional" architecture (though some argued that they JUST BARELY met the definition) to be commercially available.
This is yet another setback for the rise of 3D processors, the promised "paradigm shift" we've been hearing about since the 2000s. Old-fashioned 2D chips seem to have more room for improvement left in them than anyone predicted, and manufacturing 3D chips has proven more stubbornly problematic than most predicted as well.
