Multiple PC vendors have come forward in confirming that Intel’s 14nm CPU shortage is affecting business. Just last week, Intel made clear its plans to slash DIY CPUs for retail by up to 2 million units, instead directing chips to the OEM channel.

Now, it seems that Gemini Lake SoCs are so backlogged, vendors are expecting to wait until February or March 2019 for orders. Hardkernel’s ODROID H2 is an x86-based, single board mini PC that uses the Celeron J4105. Apparently, the company undershot demand for the system, and sold through all 2,000 produced units in 24 hours.

Now, Intel reports that they can’t deliver anymore Gemini Lake chips until February or March, and can’t even confirm that delivery schedule until January. Intel has already offloaded some of its entry-level chip production to TSMC, and rumors have suggested SoCs may become outsourced as well.
