On August 18, December 5, intel recently disclosed that it was the first time it used 14 Nanometer Processing technology to manufacture a successfully tested chip circuit, according to foreign media reports. Intel plans to use 14 Nanometer Processing technology to produce a processor named "Broadwell" in 2013.

Pat bliemer, general manager of Intel Nordic and Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg Economic Union, disclosed this information in an exclusive interview with the Nordic hardware website. He said the technology has been able to manufacture 14nm chips in laboratory conditions. This means that intel has a huge advantage over competitors in terms of production technology. It is still difficult for Intel's competitors to apply less than 20 nanometers of technology.

The news was not surprising considering that intel was the first company to produce 32-nanometer chips in mass. Moreover, Intel, the first in another industry, recently announced that it has begun using the 22nm technology to produce processors codenamed Ivy bridge in bulk. This processor uses a 3D (three-gate) transistor.

Pat bliemer also confirmed that Intel's tick-tock (Technology Year-architecture year) strategy is proceeding as planned. This means that the first processor with 14nm technology will be available in 2014. This processor is codenamed Broadwell.

Broadwell processor was launched as the "Technology Year" in Intel's roadmap. It is actually a 14nm chip with a reduced haswell architecture launched in 2013. However, unlike haswell, this 14nm chip will have a more integrated design feature and will be Intel's first real system chip, this chip includes Ethernet, Thunderbolt, or USB 3.0.

Other Broadwell chip specifications are unclear. However, this chip will certainly support the architectural improvements Intel plans to include in the haswell kernel, such as avx2 and DirectX 11.1.
