„Intel“ vis dar nesugeba patenkinti procesorių paklausos

Jau kuris laikas negirdėjome apie „Intel“ nesugebėjimą gaminti pakankamai procesorių, kad būtų patenkinta paklausa. Dabar „Intel“ į visus kreipiasi atviru laišku ir aiškėja, kad „Intel“ gamybos pajėgumai vis dar nėra pakankamai dideli, kad procesorių užtektų visiems norintiems.

„Intel“ sako, kad 2019 metų ketvirtame ketvirtyje procesorių trūkumas vis dar tęsis nepaisant to, kad 14 nm gamybos linijų pajėgumai kilo dviženkliu skaitmeniu. Taip pat didėja ir 10 nm litografijos gamybos pajėgumai, bet to neužtenka patenkinti paklausą. Tai lems, kad „Intel“ procesorių norintys klientai savo užsakymų lauks ilgiau nei įprasta. Tokia situacija susidarė dėl to, kad asmeninių kompiuterių rinka 2019 metais atkakliai augo ir viršijo visas prognozes.

 

Intel — November 20, 2019

 

To our customers and partners,

 

I’d like to acknowledge and sincerely apologize for the impact recent PC CPU shipment delays are having on your business and to thank you for your continued partnership. I also want to update you on our actions and investments to improve supply-demand balance and support you with performance-leading Intel products. Despite our best efforts, we have not yet resolved this challenge.

 

In response to continued strong demand, we have invested record levels of Capex increasing our 14nm wafer capacity this year while also ramping 10nm production. In addition to expanding Intel’s own manufacturing capability, we are increasing our use of foundries to enable Intel’s differentiated manufacturing to produce more Intel CPU products.

 

The added capacity allowed us to increase our second-half PC CPU supply by double digits compared with the first half of this year. However, sustained market growth in 2019 has outpaced our efforts and exceeded third-party forecasts. Supply remains extremely tight in our PC business where we are operating with limited inventory buffers. This makes us less able to absorb the impact of any production variability, which we have experienced in the quarter. This has resulted in the shipment delays you are experiencing, which we appreciate is creating significant challenges for your business. Because the impact and revised shipment schedules vary, Intel representatives are reaching out with additional information and to answer your questions.

 

We will continue working tirelessly to provide you with Intel products to support your innovation and growth.

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/ Michelle Johnston Holthaus

 

Michelle Johnston Holthaus

 

Executive Vice President

 

General Manager, Sales, Marketing and Communications Group
