Rumors: Intel Could Outsource Some of Its CPU Production to TSMC
Intel (INTC) is facing supply constraints for its 14nm (nanometer) chips as the company transitions to the 10nm node. The company is believed to have replaced some of its 14nm production lines with 10nm, but poor yields forced the company to delay the launch of 10nm products to the 2019 holiday season. Some analysts stated that the delay in the launch of 10nm products shifted the demand for the 14nm products, which created a supply shortage.
