Detail Core Tiger Lake back through Core Skylake –
Beginning with Rocket Lake Desktop, channel available down < 2.33% in the prior two weeks on a volume build gaining at 13% per week.
Economically on production assessment across 28 weeks of supply, the prior 15 weeks of Rocket are surplus priced by Intel at cost. At four weeks of supply marginal revenue equals marginal cost and by the fifth week of supply marginal revenue drops to zero.
All SKUs including W in-part are available in the channel here’s run to date volume by grade SKU;
XW 13xx_ = 0.002%
11900K 8C = 20.51%

Sales trend by category at volume peak 5 weeks back and all SKUs are selling down except Xeon W 13xx_ = flat;
i9 < 5.2%
i7 < 6.9%
i5 < 3.3% can be compared with V5X sales trend in week’s AMD report.
Tiger Lake Desktop B (NUC) is not yet available in the channel.
Tiger Lake Mobile H octa/hexa + 131% in the prior two weeks on a 36% per week volume build trend.
Difficult to determine the sales trend on volume build and here’s by grade SKU;

On dice yield and time to market, Apple M1 at 5 nm over 42 weeks of supply gained channel volume at a rate of 11.8% per week.
Apple TSMC M1 can be compared against AMD TSMC Cezanne mobile 7 nm supply growth over 30 weeks is 25% per week.
Intel Tiger Lake H 10 nm quads over 49 weeks gained at a rate of 32% per week and for H octa / hexa 10 nm over 18 weeks the rate is 36%.
Data can be relied to consider good dice and final package time to market.
