Intel can't spin up 18A fast enough, so Intel 7 is now the new CPU bottleneck

Intel is stuck on yesterday's tech while it waits for tomorrow's

TL;DR: Intel's next-generation 18A process, its most advanced manufacturing technology, is ramping up more slowly than expected. Until it reaches high-volume production, the company's heavily utilized Intel 7 lines will continue to constrain output for both client and data center chips. In the meantime, Intel is prioritizing higher-margin server processors to offset supply limitations and preserve profitability. [...]
