Cannon Lake (formerly Skymont) is Intel's codename for the 10-nanometer die shrink of the Kaby Lake microarchitecture. As a die shrink, Cannon Lake is a new process in Intel's "Process-Architecture-Optimization" execution plan as the next step in semiconductor fabrication.[2] Cannon Lake CPUs are the first mainstream CPUs to include the AVX-512 instruction set.

Prior to Cannon Lake's launch, Intel launched another 14 nm process refinement with the codename Coffee Lake.[3]

The successor of Cannon Lake microarchitecture will be Ice Lake, which will represent the architecture phase in the Intel Process-Architecture-Optimization Model.[4][5]

History

Cannon Lake was initially expected to be released in 2016, but the release was pushed back to 2018.[6] Intel demonstrated a laptop with an unknown Cannon Lake CPU at CES 2017[7][8] and announced that Cannon Lake based products will be available in 2018 at the earliest.

At CES 2018 (January 9–12, 2018) Intel announced that it had started shipping mobile Cannon Lake CPUs at the end of 2017 and would ramp up production in 2018.[9][10][11]

On April 26, 2018 in its report on first-quarter 2018 financial results Intel stated it was currently shipping low-volume 10 nm product and expects 10 nm volume production to shift to 2019.[12] In July 2018, Intel announced that volume production of Cannon Lake would be delayed yet again, to late H2 2019. [13]

The first laptop featuring a Cannon Lake CPU, namely Intel Core i3-8121U, a dual core CPU with HyperThreading and Turbo Boost but without an integrated GPU, was released in May, 2018 in very limited quantities.[14][15]

According to non-official sources the Cannon Lake microarchitecture was scrubbed and the 10nm tech process is being reworked.[16]
