Intel Corp. May Have Canceled Another Product

For a while, it was widely expected that chip giant Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) would launch the first processors built using its upcoming 10-nanometer chip manufacturing technology by the end of the year.

Intel's 10-nanometer technology, the company has repeatedly said, offers significant power efficiency and chip area benefits over its 14-nanometer technology (currently in production).

These chips, known as Cannon Lake-U and Cannon Lake-Y, were intended to go into mainstream laptops and fan-less laptop/tablet hybrids, respectively. Intel's U-series chips are rated at a 15-watt thermal design power (think of thermal design power, or TDP, as the average power consumption of the chips during heavy use over time), while the company's Y-series chips are rated at a roughly 5-6-watt thermal design power.
