英特尔：别胡说，我不会放弃10nm

with 10-nanometer product launches beginning in the second half of 2017 time frame makes sense.

What about the cost cutting that was mentioned?
Nenni also notes that skipping 10-nanometer and accelerating 7-nanometer would allow Intel reduce its operating expenses. Even if doing so would allow Intel to reduce expenses, Intel has not signaled that it plans to cut costs related to its chip manufacturing technology development.

In fact, on the company's Q4 of 2014 conference call, Intel CFO Stacy Smith said that the company was actually increasing its investments in manufacturing technology. This is a core capability for the company and as such I wouldn't expect the company to make material cuts here; if anything, I would expect increases here and reductions in less essential areas.
