Financials aside, upcoming CEO Gelsinger expressed his satisfaction with the company's improvements with its 7 nm process. He indicated that Intel has plans to introduce its first products based on 7nm technology in 2023 - still later than originally planned. Still, in line with the delay, the company announced in mid-2020.
