In early April, Intel introduced the H310/H370/B360 new consumer-grade chipset, which greatly eased the Z370's single-box supply, and, for those who purchase i5/i3 or even Pentium Celeron CPUs, the Z370 is obviously overkill. Virtually raise the cost of installation.
The H310/H370/B360 natively support 802.11ac Wave2 Gigabit Wi-Fi and USB 3.1 Gen2 (10Gbps), which is only the envy of the Z370.
And as the most affordable H310 motherboard, it is the entry level to the mainstream, and the budget-minded person DIY is the first choice.
However, according to Digitimes, The motherboard industry chain reported that Intel suspended the supply of the H310 chipset due to the tight 14nm production capacity.
Maybe many people don’t know The photolithography process of the Z370 chipset is 22 nm, while the H310 is 14 nm.
Why is the 14nm nervous? This is going to take the 10nm bounce ticket to 'whip' it. As consumer Whiskey Lake and server Casade Lake need to battle for 14 years at 1 year, 10nm will be delayed until 2019 to mass production, resulting in a large number of 14nm recovery orders..
According to sources, Intel may even retreat H310 photolithography process from 14nm back to 22nm , But Intel denied that it has not planned to adjust the process.
The notice that the motherboard is currently receiving is H310 can resume supply in July.
During this period, the H310 may return to the supply shortage situation. Based on the installed capacity, consumers have to buy a higher-priced B360 as an alternative. Of course, the motherboard partners are also somewhat silent, the H310 is a low-cost representative, and Intel When the production capacity was in a hurry, it was used as a "of course victim" to "discard the car". This dimmed sales situation was difficult to rebound in the second quarter.
