Intel Stock Has Several Headwinds in 2018
Intel (INTC), the PC and server CPU (central processing unit) leader, started 2018 with the disclosure of chip design flaws Spectre and Meltdown. While Intel was working out a solution for these flaws, it announced a delay in the launch of its 10 nm (nanometer) products to the 2019 holiday season. Intel announced the abrupt resignation of its CEO Brian Krzanich and acknowledged that it would face a shortage of CPUs in the second half of 2018.
