Intel: Some 10nm CPUs to ship before year-end, no high-volume until 2H 2018

In last week's earnings call, Intel CEO Brian M. Krzanich confirmed the company is on track to ship a limited volume of 10nm processors before the end of the year. No specifics were shared but it appears this will be very limited volume as Krzanich says the "initial ramp" will follow in the first half of 2018, while high volume shipments isn't expected until the second half of 2018:

We're especially excited about the launch of our latest 8th Generation Core processor, code named Coffee Lake. The Coffee Lake family includes our first six-core desktop CPU. And it's our best gaming processor to date, with up to 50% better performance than the competition on top game titles. We're on track to ship our first low-volume 10-nanometer part by the end of the year. That will be followed by the initial ramp in the first half of 2018, with both high volume and system availability in the second half of 2018. We shipped our first modem into the auto industry, and our modem revenue was up 37% in total over last year.
