[News] Intel Reportedly Says CPU Supply Tightness Is Affecting All Customers; Chromebooks Hit Hard

What happened

Intel confirms CPU supply constraints are affecting all customers, with entry-level notebook CPU prices already raised over 15% and server CPU prices in China up more than 10%. Lead times for entry/mid-range Xeon processors have stretched to six months, prompting some Chromebook customers to shift to MediaTek. Bullish: Supply tightness across client and data center segments, coupled with confirmed price increases, signals upward pressure on component costs.
