几周前我们谈到了生产链中的英特尔问题。该半导体巨头面临14 nm CPU的短缺,可能是由于Intel从同一14 nm ++节点分配了其即将到来的第9代核心处理器的体积。那引起了清晰的上升在诸如Core i7-8700k之类的处理器的价格中,其发行价格为359美元,很难在一个月前以不到400美元的价格找到。从那时起,价格一直放松,但仍然高于其发布会。
Intel’s processor shortage could continue in the coming months, and in fact Jerry Shen, CEO of Asustek Computer, explained how the problem will continue until at least the second quarter of 2019. In his words, “the continued CPU supply crunch, escalating US-China trade disputes, and increasing competition in the notebook segment in Europe have pressed down Asustek’s “operational visibility” for the fourth quarter of 2018 to the lowest level of 20% compared to an over 50% seen in previous years”.

英特尔试图解决这个问题,但是Xeon和核心家族的处理器生产的优先级使该入门级的CPU受到了这种短缺的影响。沉说,尽管“英特尔将其CPU的运输货物和游戏PC领域保持了,Asustek的游戏PC业务对CPU短缺的影响很小。”英特尔的供应减少一直是该公司财务业绩不佳的原因之一,与上一季度相比,2018年第四季度的PC货物将保持平坦。
