Intel resurrects 22nm haswell processor for delivery issues

Intel has had to resuscitate the Haswell processor due to delivery problems with 14nm Intel chips. We tell you what happens.

It's not official yet, but Intel is having trouble delivering the 14nm Intel Pentium chips . There is no official notice, but everything indicates that it may be due to a delivery problem. Therefore, Intel has been forced to resurrect Haswell processors with a 22nm manufacturing process in order to respond.

Everything about a delivery problem

The 14nm Pentium range may have delivery issues, prompting Intel to supply 22nm processors , which are 5 years old and were discontinued in 2013-2014. This has produced great discontent because it represents a regression with respect to the technology that we find today.

This is not the first time this has happened, as these distribution problems have existed since the beginning of 2018. Apparently, in the spring it had been resolved, but these problems re-emerge.

Intel is adding many criticisms difficult to counter-argue in this regard, although the company has denied on occasion. It was always said that these problems were not major, nor that they would affect later. We have already seen this event with the Skylake-X processors or with the Cascade Lake-X.

Intel's solution: return to Haswell

The blue giant has focused on manufacturing the Core and Xeon processors, so it may have neglected the manufacturing of the Intel Pentiums.

Intel's solution is not the most indicated because it involves offering the Intel Pentium G3420 to replace today's 14nm Intel Celeron. It is not the best solution, but it is the only one that, apparently, they can offer their clients.

AMD is not saved either

On the other hand, AMD also had problems with TSMC in the manufacture of its chips. So it has been with the Ryzen 9 3900X, the Threadripper 3960X and the 3970X. All large-scale manufacturers face this problem sooner or later.

However, AMD managed to solve this problem and today we can acquire those chips anywhere, although it is true that it is more difficult to get the 3970X and 3950X because there is not much stock of it, not to mention null.

Distribution problem or excess demand?

We do not know for sure if it is a distribution problem of the manufacturers themselves, or is that demand has increased to levels that they have not predicted.

We will have to wait to see what ends. We hope that Intel will be able to resupply its customers with the 14nm Celeron with no problems. What do you think of this fact? Do you think Intel has given a good solution?
