na Anandtechu vylože píší o tom, že volba 6nm výrobního procesu byla "economical choice , tzn. že to bylo pro Intel výhodné finančně. Levnější než N5 a jednodušší než N7.

"When they ship next year, the Alchemist chips will be the first GPUs built on the N6 process. Though not TSMC’s leading process – that honor belongs to N5 – N6 is the next best choice to ship a GPU on – and likely the only economical one. N6 is essentially an improved version of TSMC’s N7 node, which replaces some DUV layers with EUV layers while retaining most of the same design rules and tools. TSMC hasn’t been promoting the half-node too much on a performance basis – performance is about equal to N7 – but it does take some important steps to simplifying the manufacturing process versus N7. And, especially important for a relatively large die product like a GPU, it offers around 18% improved density versus N7."
