What Rumors Say about Intel’s Supply Shortage
Intel (INTC) is looking to address the CPU (central processing unit) supply shortage by adding capacity and prioritizing high-margin Xeon server CPUs over PC CPUs. This shortage also fueled rumors about possible approaches Intel could take to meet CPU demand in the short term. Tom’s Hardware, citing multiple sources, reported that Intel is not outsourcing production to TSMC (TSM) but is moving production of its H310C chipset back to the 22nm (nanometer) node.
