Intel wants to improve the supply of Coffee Lake processors

When Intel released its Intel Core i7-8700K, Core i7-8700, Core i5-8600K, Core i5-8400 and other Coffee Lake products in early October, it was unable to meet all demand and many stores had no stock of the models. high-end. Today, the unlocked i7-8700K and i5-8600K core is over priced and not available at all times (with stock status changing several times a day), meaning its offering is not continuous and Intel is not can satisfy the demand of all its clients.

The i7 and i5 '' Coffee Lake '' processors are currently assembled in Malaysia, but Intel will add another assembly and testing factory located in Chengdu, China. This should improve the stock, and therefore prices should also drop in the coming months on certain models.

Intel customers will begin receiving the aforementioned processors mounted in China starting December 15. As Malaysian factories will continue to be used, there will be Intel Core i7-8700K, Intel Core i7-8700K, Core i7-8700, Intel Core i5-8600K and Core i5-8400 CPUs assembled in China or Malaysia in the future, as you can see in one of the images above.
