元器件交易网讯 2月14日消息,英特尔原计划将于第一季度末开始大规模生产14nm工艺Broadwell架构处理器,并在第三季度推出,但据上游供应链最新消息称,该处理器将被推迟发布,直到第四季度才面世。
Broadwel大量出货量也将被推迟到2015年第一季度完成。消息称,延迟部分是由于Haswell处理器库存在市场上消化缓慢。
Broadwell是当前第四代酷睿处理器也就是代号Haswell的全新14纳米制程缩小版,根据这份路线图,英特尔将专注于移动部分领域,而桌面领域则无太大变动。图中展示了英特尔的H(一体机)、U(超级本)和Y(平板)系列芯片将在2014年下半年迎来换芯。
目前,确定更新为Broadwell架构的产品包含了U、Y以及H系列处理器,笔记本电脑上的M系列也将延续现阶段的Haswell,没有任何更新动作。
该消息人士指出, 第四季度的Broadwell处理器只有有限数量,最初优先提供U和Y系列型号。奔腾和赛扬机型将于2015年第一季度发布。
没有任何强有力驱动程序,该人士预计笔记本电脑上半年的需求将继续疲软,并将在第三季度通过降价实现回升。第四季度由于Broadwell处理器供应限量,该行业不可能看到任何进升趋势。(元器件交易网郭路平 译)

Intel postpones Broadwell availability to 4Q14
Intel"s upcoming 14nm Broadwell-based processors were previously scheduled for mass production at the end of the first quarter for release in the third; however, sources from the upstream supply chain say the processors have recently been delayed and will not be available until the fourth quarter.
Broadwell"s mass shipments will also be postponed to the first quarter of 2015. The sources believe the delay is partly due to the slow digestion of Haswell processor inventories in the market.
The sources pointed out that Broadwell processors will only have limited volumes in the fourth quarter and only U- and Y-series models will be available initially. Pentium and Celeron models will be released in the first quarter of 2015.
Without any strong drivers, the sources expect notebook demand to remain weak in the first half and will have a chance to pick up in the third quarter through price cuts. In the fourth quarter, since only limited Broadwell processor supplies will be available, the industry is unlikely to see any replacement trend.
