Laptop vendors expect Intel's CPU shortage to peak in the year in the second quarter and are sourcing from AMD's chips now, they reported. This is something we talked about in another article.

The publication's sources believe that AMD could reach a 20% market share in the notebook market in the first quarter.

Most vendors expect Intel's CPU shortage to end in the second half of 2020, but Martin Weng, president of Compal Electronics, the world's largest laptop maker, believes that Intel's shortage will continue throughout 2020.

Intel CPU models that are expected to suffer the most from the shortage include low-end CPUs, such as the Atom-based Celeron and Pentium (N-series) processors, which typically go for the budget Chromebooks.

AMD announced this week the Zen-based Athlon Silver 3050U and Athlon Gold 3150U processors that could serve as replacements for Intel's Celerons and Pentiums on Chromebooks and other budget Windows PCs. In this way, AMD prepares to welcome with open arms those manufacturers that need good processors with full availability during the year 2020.
