It gets worse for Intel from here. It looks like Intel 10nm has slipped until at least H2 of next year, which will put TSMC and GlobalFounders ahead of them on process.
Is the Jedi the legendary Jim Keller, who returned to AMD after designing the A series processors for Apple?
Yes, and like I mentioned, Intel has admitted themselves that high-performance desktop parts won't launch till 10nm+. We are looking late 2019 at the earliest! Till then, Intel is stuck on Skylake architecture (reused in Kaby Lake and Coffee Lake) and 14nm++. I'm betting they'll just slap on two more cores to Coffee Lake and call it a day till 10+ finally ships.
As for the reference - nice try, but it's actually a bit more obscure :)
