In a letter posted via its online newsroom, Intel apologizes for processor shortages that have been plaguing potential buyers of its processors for some time. The letter, written by Michelle Johnston Holthaus, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Intel, begins: "I want to express my sincere apologies for the consequences of recent delays in shipments of processor PCs on your business. Thank you for your continued partnership." I'd also like to tell you about our actions and investments to improve the supply/demand balance and support you with cutting-edge Intel products. Despite all our efforts, we still have not resolved this issue. "As you're probably aware, out-of-supply issues have been a concern for Intel for some time now, and the chip giant's problems with producing enough 14nm processors to keep up with demand have continued since power returned. .'last year. 10nm to be viable in terms of mass production.) In the letter, Intel further indicated that it had invested "record" levels of capital to increase 14nm wafer production capacity during 2019 (while increased by 10nm).The company also announced that it has expanded its own production capacity and used more foundries to produce more Intel processors.All these efforts have led to increasing the supply of PC sound processors by double digits in the second half of this year compared to the first half of this year 2019. Holthaus then notes: "However, the continued growth of the market (in personal computers) in 2019 exceeded our efforts and exceeded third-party forecasts." The demand for processors is such that Intel still cannot cope, despite all these efforts, it is essentially the last and last of the current situation. While supply remains tight, Intel claims to be "less able to absorb the impact of the variability in production seen during the quarter."
