As you know, tomorrow, Intel Coffee Lake-S processors should appear on sale. Recall, within the framework of this family, Intel first increased the number of cores in the desktop consumer Core processors, not belonging to the class HEDT.
However, the start of sales can be overshadowed by a serious shortage of new CPUs. If you believe the source, the problem with the offer from Intel will last until early next year. This means that you can not buy such processors anywhere, and the price can be raised by sellers.
The source explains this situation by the fact that originally CPU Coffee Lake was supposed to be released just in early 2018, but Intel had to shift the launch to an earlier date because of the success of Ryzen. However, if you move the announcement itself is not a problem, then it would seem that the production capacity was rebuilt to meet the demand from Intel,.
Analysts believe that such a situation can seriously damage Intel, as consumers will not want to buy automatically obsolete Kaby Lake CPUs, they will not be able to buy CPU Coffee Lake due to a deficit and eventually pay attention to AMD solutions.
