The massive shipment of Intel's 10nm CPUs was delayed until next year. At present, only one Core i3-8121U is used on Lenovo's laptops, and it is quite low-key, with no mass promotion.
Previously, Intel promised its partners to be under 2018, and now includes major OEMs such as Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Lenovo, and Acer. Both have revised their shipment expectations for 2018.
According to Digitimes, Without the support of new CPU replacement, notebook makers are bearish on shipment growth.
In such a situation, notebook manufacturers currently focus on marketing game books and business books, while reducing the overall cost of consumer-grade products. The measures include cutting or even suspending the investment in R&D and support for new CPUs.
According to reports, some ODM foundries in Taiwan say their research and development work is now even stalled.
As a result, industry chain related manufacturers will encounter difficult situations, such as the production of fingerprint recognition for notebooks, touch panels, Type-C interface suppliers.
