If it stays on target, Intel will be shifting from current 32nm process that just got introduced in Q4 2009 to a new 22nm process in Q4 2011. Intel tries to stick to its two year per node plan. This is what company's official manufacturing roadmap reveals.

After 22nm, in Q4 2013 the company should introduce 15nm process and two years after that, so in Q4 2015 the company should introduce 11nm process.

This schedule also plans CPUs some 80 percent smaller than 11nm, probably 7nm after that. The plans look interesting and if Intel doesn’t face any transition problems in manufacturing, the timeline should stick.

Globalfoundries might probably be at least two quarters behind Intel transition schedules, at least with 32nm and 22nm transition, but with a lot of cache coming from the far east, they might even speed it up.
