Intel might have difficulty delivering enough new chips

There can be bottlenecks that slow down the distribution of core and core ultra series 3 processors.

If you want to buy a new laptop to take advantage of the new Intel Series 3 processors, you might need to practice some patience. According to reports, the company has difficulties in supplying enough of its core and core ultra chips to suppliers for its great aggravation. The well-connected former Bloomberg reporter Tim Culpan proposes in his article “Substack” that large PC brands have to struggle with the scarcity. This is a delicate topic, as Intel reports have also urged the same companies to switch to the new chips, as the company would quickly stop the production of the previous generation of silicon.

The Core/Core Ultra Series 3 chips are the first two to be produced in Intel's proven 18A process, the first step on its comeback tour. Over the last two decades, Intel had to weaken its technology leadership as it was torn by its Taiwanese rival TSMC, the world's largest chip manufacturer. According to Culpan, Intel wanted to adjust the production of its older chips with the code names Alder Lake and Raptor Lake, as both are manufactured by TSMC.

Given the requirements placed on the Taiwan chip company – it is the only building block that stops the rest of the technology industry – Intel will probably not have the highest priority. Above all, considering that there is hardly any reason to offer too much support to the company that still has plans to regain its place at the top of the chip production hill. Unfortunately, for Intel, the 18A chips are produced even in their own house, but for the new chips many additional components are required, which – They have guessed – made at TSMC. Culpan added that the shortage of supply could worsen as Intel also launched its first high-end server chip, Xeon 6+, which was produced in the same 18A process.

The report quotes an Intel manager that admits that there is a certain lack, but the company is working to overcome it. Engadget has contacted Intel for an official comment and we will update this report if we receive an answer.
