Recently some international portals reported Intel’s difficulties in fulfilling orders from Taiwanese ODMs and OEMs who claimed that Intel CPUs were lacking in the market for shipping their devices.
It seems that the manufacturer succeeded in finding a solution to the difficulty of supplying the 14nm CPUs, which could reach a deficit of 50%. According to Digitimes, the manufacturer teamed up with TSMC and received a partnership to solve this problem by sharing part of its portfolio of products intended to be manufactured by the partner.
As a result, it is now responsible for manufacturing CPUs for the consumer market and H310 chipsets and joins the FPGA and SoFiA projects already under the partner’s protection.
Now Intel will focus all its efforts on the production of server CPUs, that usually make the company even more profitable.
In this way, TSMC strengthens even more in the market since it is now producing the main processors from Intel, in addition to working with the AMD and NVIDIA competitors, as well as ARM processors such as Qualcomm, Apple, Broadcom, and others.
Despite all the information and complaints that have been around the market up to now, Intel did not officially declare itself about the news of processors supply difficulties or partnership with TSMC. However, the deal will make the market normalized in the industry until the end of the year.
