Due to the production capacity issues of the 14nm process, the shortage of Intel processors and chipsets has been quite severe recently, which has also led to widespread and significant price hikes. Recently, Intel released the new ninth-generation Core, ninth-generation Core X, and a 28-core Xeon W, all of which are based on the 14nm process, and the production capacity squeeze has become even more severe.
According to Intel, the production of the B360 chipset will be reduced by up to 30% starting from October. As a result, the supply volume in the fourth quarter will be very limited and it will enter a state of severe shortage. The specific reasons for the reduction in production are unknown, but it is believed to be related to the tight capacity of the 14nm technology.
The B360 motherboard is currently the absolute sales leader of Intel in the mainstream market. It is the preferred motherboard choice for many when purchasing Core, Pentium, or even Celeron processors. Now, its production has suddenly been significantly reduced, which will inevitably cause market instability.
