Intel has admitted that it’s focusing on high-end CPUs, instead of the cheaper entry-level ones, saying that the supply is “tight” for the budget market.
In an open letter, the company’s interim CEO Bob Swan confirmed this and wrote that the supply for this segment of CPUs is very low which is why you might have trouble finding a cheap computer. The reason for this is that Intel is focusing on the high-end market this year.
