During the forum for developers of Intel has said that after the establishment of 22 nm process technology it will develop 15nm process technology. Global Foundries, the only hope for AMD, is planning in 2012 to move to mass production of 22 nm chips, and probably about two years after the switch to 15nm process technology.

In fact, Intel did not specify exactly what will happen after the 22 nm fabrication process: 15nm or 16nm. Currently, this process technology at a very early stage of development, the transition to mass production on the manufacturing process must take place by the end of 2013. The same term is obtained theoretically, if we recall that in the fourth quarter of 2009 will be presented first 32nm Intel processors, and in accordance with the strategy of tick-tock Intel introduces a new process technology every two years. That is, in the fourth quarter of 2011, Intel will have to move to 22 nm process technology, and in the fourth quarter of 2013 the manufacturer will be ready to begin mass production of 15nm (or 16nm) processors.

Most likely, Intel will be releasing on 22 nm and 15nm process technology, not only the conventional CPU, designed for PCs and servers, but also processors and SoC chips for mobile and consumer devices for netbooks, notebooks, etc Theoretically, the transition to 15nm process technology will lead to a doubling of the number of transistors compared with the 32nm processors with the same or lower power consumption.
