Intel Addresses CPU Shortage: 'Supply Is Undoubtedly Tight' (crn.com)
Intel interim CEO Bob Swan publicly addressed the company's CPU shortage issue for the first time since July, when he acknowledged that meeting additional demand would be Intel's "biggest challenge." From a report: In a message posted to Intel's website Friday, Swan said the "surprising return" to growth in the PC market "has put pressure on [the company's] factory network." He added, "We're prioritizing the production of Intel Xeon and Intel Core processors so that collectively we can serve the high-performance segments of the market. That said, supply is undoubtedly tight, particularly at the entry-level of the PC market."
Intel partners and at least one distributor previously told CRN they were seeing a shortage of Intel's current generation, 14-nanometer CPUs, most notably in lower-end client processors.

And why does AMD always perform great in benchmarks but badly in real world tests compared to Intel?
That hasn't been my experience at all. The K6 blew the doors off the P2, clock for clock, when you compiled for it.
Lol someone asks a legitimate question about the CURRENT CPU's and you answer about the K6?!?!?
That's not what they did. They said "always". In English, that means at minimum current and past performance, and possibly future, too. I can see why you're afraid to log in. On some level, you must know you're a total maroon.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
