Intel's interim CEO Bob Swan published an unusual open letter on the company's official website on Friday, frankly acknowledging that the company is facing a shortage of chip supply. Swan believes that due to increased demand for games and commercial systems, PC shipments in the second quarter of this year have increased for the first time in nearly six years, and the sudden increase in demand has led to a shortage of chip supply.
Although Swan claims that its 10nm-level chip manufacturing process is making continuous progress, its output has improved, and it is expected to achieve mass production in 2019, the strong growth of the PC market and doubts in the capital market still put tremendous pressure on Intel.
Swan said in the open letter that chip supply is very short, especially in the entry-level PC market, but he believes that Intel will have enough supply to meet the company's annual revenue demand.
Intel plans to give priority to the needs of the high-end market in the short term, mainly considering the production of Xeon and Core processors. In addition, the company will invest US$15 billion this year as infrastructure costs, including US$1 billion investment in 14nm chip production bases in the United States, Ireland, and Israel.
In fact, the problem of insufficient global chip supply puts the entire PC industry in a difficult situation. On the surface, the supply shortage caused by the increase in demand seems to be a good sign, but if market demand continues to grow and the chip supply gap cannot be eased, it will cause serious problems and even reverse some of the successes that have been achieved.
