Prices Intel Coffee Lake Procs Are Skyrocketing due to 14nm shortages

Prices Intel Coffee Lake Procs Are Skyrocketing due to 14nm shortages

A while ago you have been able to read here that Global Foundries canceled 7nm to fully focus on 14nm, as that is the most profitable for them. That's was the first serious industry hint. The 14nm process sees massive productions delays and shortages, as a result, Coffee Lake at 14nm procs have risen in price significantly, some even 40% or 60%.

TSMC reported they cannot keep up with 14nm demand. Intel delays 10nm due to issues and later mentioned that instead of baking some series 300 chipsets chips at 14nm, they now order them as 22nm chip. My Dutch colleagues from the HWI noticed this as well and compiled a list of what is going on with prices of coffee lake processors, and the results are pretty shocking really, this is what has been happening in just three weeks time:

  

 Lowest price with stock
  1st of September September 22 Difference
Core i7 8086K € 419 € 459 10%
Core i7 8700K € 349 € 420 20%
Core i7 8700 € 319 € 425 33%
Core i5 8600K € 249 € 299 20%
Core i5 8600 € 225 € 298 32%
Core i5 8500 € 205 € 256 25%
Core i5 8400 € 199 € 279 40%
Core i3 8350K € 174 € 200 15%
Core i3 8300 € 139 € 169 22%
Core i3 8100 € 109 € 175 61%
Pentium G5600 € 89 € 100 12%
Pentium G5500 € 81 € 97 20%
Pentium G5400 € 60 N/A N/A
Celeron G4920 € 51 € 52 2%
Celeron G4900 € 38 € 42 11%

  

For example, if you are eying a Core i5 8400, then you should know it became 40% more expensive ever since the beginning of this month. The Core i3 8100 is now 61% more expensive compared to really September.

When you average the processors out, you will see an overall price increase of 23 percent, that's for the entire range with lots of fluctuations per CPU. It seems the shortages are substantial on the 14nm production lines, which makes me wonder what is to happen with the pending Core 9000 series launch, which also is based on 14nm coffee lake.

Distributors mention that there will be severely limited stock available for Core 9000 (8-core Core i9 9900K), even less than with the Series 9000 launch, and these processors suffered from shortages in availability for months after their release.

In my EU country 8700K is out of stock almost everywhere and prices start at 501€.

I'm just wondering what this means for the new 9000 series pricing... if price increase will be the same for 9000 CPUs then they will be DOA.
alza.de - 425Euro. Or switch to country closer to you.

The nearest Microcenter to me has 10+ of all the 8k CPUs in stock (for the ones I checked). The 8400 is a little above MSRP but the others are at or below MSRP. The R7 2700X is $280.

Someone made a good point on another tech site. If this article was about AMD people would be saying AMD is 5 years behind and going bankrupt.
