Intel Corp. said a server chip built with its best production technique will be available in high volumes in the first quarter, an attempt to convince customers that its manufacturing operations are recovering from long delays. The third generation of Xeon Scalable processors, dubbed Ice Lake, is undergoing a “ramp-up” on Intel’s 10-nanometer production, the company said Monday. Advances in semiconductor manufacturing are measured in nanometers, or billionths of a meter, with smaller and smaller transistors crammed onto wafers of silicon with each new iteration. It’s a key way for…
