After Intel has slashed their forecast for 2019, Intel said in a conference call that despite its $1.5 billion investment last year to boost production capacity for its 14nm process node, the CPU shortages would not be resolved until the third quarter of the year. The company also said it would not begin volume production of 10nm chips until the holiday season of this year. Even so, a recent leaked Intel roadmap showed that most of Intel’s future CPU SKUs would be built on the 14nm process until at least the end of 2020, and potentially even longer depending on the 10nm process’ progress.

The CPU shortage has affected almost every single supplier of PC components since the second half of 2018. The company must have felt the pressure from this because its CEO has now promised to never again repeat the same mistake they made and slow down its customers’ sales.
