Intel will increase low-end CPU production now that its 10nm Ice Lake transition is complete |
July 26, 2019
Prices of low-end PCs may fall once again, as Intel said Thursday that its shortage of “small-core” microprocessors is easing. Intel still faces an oversupply of flash memory, which should help keep down the prices of SSDs and other flash-based products.Intel’s second-quarter results, reported Thursday, exceeded the company’s own expectations. Intel profits were down 17 percent to $4.2 billion, while revenue fell slightly by 3 percent to $16.5 billion. In part, that’s because of inventory and manufacturing bumps as the company transitioned to its 10nm products, including Ice Lake, which Intel has said previously is now shipping.Intel now has two 10nm factories manufacturing silicon, chief executive Bob Swan said. Intel’s overall manufacturing slowed while those factories ramped up, which the company described in previous earnings calls. According to Swan, Intel lost a “little bit of share” during the second quarter, as the company prioritized its higher-margin, “big core” microprocessors. During that time, Swan said, Intel was unable to meet demand for its cheaper chips.To read this article in full, please click here
