Intel CPU prices going up?
Intel's processor prices have been going up recently, rather than down.
They're blaming it on production problems. Intel has been well known to be stuck on the 14nm node for a while now. Instead of going towards 10nm they just keep incrementing their 14nm with plus signs, what are they up to now, 14nm++++? Regardless, even at 14nm they were able to keep up with production before, why not now? It's not even only their high-end processors that are in short-supply, even their low-end value-oriented processors like i3-8100 or i5-8400 are not available. This doesn't sound like a high-demand supply shortage, it just sounds like just basic low yields to me. Do you think that maybe even their internal tinkering with 14nm is making things worse for them? Perhaps, 14nm++++ is not as good as 14nm+++? In the meantime, AMD is at 12nm and humming along, and ready to migrate towards 7nm within less than a year. Yousuf Khan |
