The shortage of Intel processors began in late summer last year: the growing and prioritized demand for data center processors has led to a shortage of consumer 14nm chips. Difficulties in transitioning to more advanced 10nm standards and an exclusive deal with Apple for the production of modems for iPhones, which utilize the same 14nm process, have exacerbated the issue. In the past […]
