Intel on Thursday said in its earnings report that it’s delaying its new 7-nanometer processors by approximately six months because internal testing has revealed the yield  — the number of processors that are acceptable from manufacturing — has fallen a year behind the company’s internal projections.

Intel’s 7-nanometer chips now aren’t expected until 2022 or early 2023, CEO Bob Swan said on a call with analysts Thursday. Meanwhile, top rival AMD is already selling 7-nanometer chips for PCs and gaming units.

But hiding in plain sight at the top of the release, at the end of the fourth bullet point, was quite the line: “7nm product transition delayed versus prior expectations.”

That short sentence sent fund managers leaping to sell their shares, analysts pulling the rip cord on their ratings, execs at PC makers grabbing for their Tums and Rolaids, and likely more than a few folks at Advanced Micro Devices popping champagne corks. (This morning, Intel’s stock is down 14% in premarket trading and AMD’s is up 8%.)

Why such a reaction? Because it immediately brought back memories of another July earnings release. Back in …
