Instead, the chip will likely prove popular with OEMs, which might end up re-implementing the chip for office machines.
With AMD approaching its 7nm process, Intel reviving a dead 22nm chip seems to indicate just what a bind Intel’s chip shortage has the company in. Even if it alleviates the supply problems Intel is having in terms of getting chips to OEMs, it’s not a great look for the company.
