In September in Haswell processors range will appear more affordable dual-core models, if we are talking about the desktop segment. According to preliminary data , at the beginning of autumn arrive Haswell processors , relating to Pentium series . If we consider that to work with Haswell need a new motherboard with LGA 1150, the cost of upgrading the computer during this period can be reduced.
Low Demand for computers has forced Intel to throw in the retail market of Haswell processors, originally intended for collectors. These processors are $ 20-30 cheaper than packaged, it is beneficial to consumers, but retailers are not happy with this practice. They have a stock in the warehouses of the more expensive Haswell processors, which will now have to reduce the price in order to accelerate the implementation. Computer makers cut production plans for systems based on Haswell in the current quarter - they still have enough Ivy Bridge processor generation .
According to experts, while maintaining the low demand for the computers in the quarter, Intel will have to resort to a reduction in the production of Haswell processors . This will balance supply and demand, but it can lead to local shortages. Deliveries of OEM-processors in retail are a common practice in this sense, the situation with Haswell can not be considered exceptional.
