Intel Delays Broadwell Until Next Year

Stefan Mileschin · 16th October 2013, 08:41

Intel's CEO, speaking during an earnings call earlier today, says production on Broadwell chips has been moved to the first quarter of 2014. The delay has been caused by a "defect density issue" that impacts the yields, or number of usable chips, Krzanich said. He noted that once defects are discovered, Intel inserts a set of fixes. In the case of Broadwell, the fixes didn't deliver all the improvements Intel had anticipated. However, Intel now believes it has all the required fixes in place, Krzanich said. "We have confidence the problem is fixed because we have data it is fixed," Krzanich said. "This happens sometimes in development phases like this. That's why we moved it a quarter."
