    Intel tells PC makers to adopt 18A CPUs or lose their supply, report claims — Intel 7 supply dries up, pressuring notebook and PC manufacturers in the US, China, and Taiwan

    Intel is reportedly pressuring PC manufacturers to adopt its newer 18A-based processors by limiting the supply of older Intel 7 CPUs. This strategy aims to shift production towards higher-margin server and industrial clients, while also encouraging consumer PC makers to redesign their product lines around the more expensive 18A chips. The move is expected to take at least three months for manufacturers to implement and could force upgrades to other components to justify the increased cost. AI
