Intel has a 14nm process producing ICs in its laboratories, according to its managing director for northern Europe Pat Bliemer, in an interview with Nordic Hardware.

Although 14nm does not mean anything specific like a gate length, it does designate the successor process generation to Intel's 22nm process which is due to move into production next year. "We actually have the next generation after 22nm running," says Bliemer, "our engineers  have the path to actually go and produce 14nm products."

The implications for Intel's competition, and for the foundry industry, are profound.
