Intel has a wide range of products at 14nm, and that will stat that way for a while as they cannot produce enough on that node as the capacity of its existing factories exceeds demand. The company will to reopen its factory in Costa Rica in search of expanding production capacity by up to 25%.

Once opened, Intel will have four factories running (China, Malaysia and Vietnam) so it can manufacture more processors, chipsets, and other products manufactured at 14nm.

Costa Rica is located in North America. In order to increase the 14nm capacity, Intel has announced the reactivation of Costa Rica's packaging plant. Officials have stated that this plan is being implemented in phases, starting as soon as April and reaching the second milestone in August. After that, the Costa Rica factory will be the fourth factory to package and test 14nm processors. The first may be the Xeon processor, and the Core processor will be packaged here.

Costarica fab reminds me of when pentiums 3 from the costarica fab were said to be better overclockers and i was looking around shops for die numbers that would tell that.
I wonder if that was even true...
