Intel has published a PCN (Product Change Notice, or "product change notice") announcing that the processor Intel Pentium G3420, from the period Haswell at 22 nm who was already deceased and buried, will be resold until at least the month of May 2020, with the last shipment ending in December of the same year. This, of course, aroused suspicion and suggested that Problems with 14 nm processor stock Still more latent.
In a product change announcement released by Intel, the company has changed the "Rejected" status to a more telling description:
«Canceling the Product Completion completely on a new road decision and enabling the product for a long time too».
In effect, this means "We have completely canceled this product restriction due to a new roadmap decision, and may be able to make this product longer." It basically means that the Pentium G3420 not only goes back to sales but also the company worked well. In other words, not that they owned the stock and wanted to eliminate it, but they have started producing it again. They reiterated that they will receive orders for this processor until May next year, and will ship the goods until December.
The resurgence of the Pentium G3420 means Intel is in trouble
This action by Intel is actually unrealistic, except that the stock issues are quite serious. For weeks, OEM manufacturers have complained that they are no longer selling because Intel does not provide enough processors to their teams, so the company's twists and turns seem to be trying in vain to make their partners happy, especially because some of them (like Dell) already using AMD processors, leaving Intel aside.
In any case, this Intel Pentium G3420 will not hit records, and is actually a low-end processor whose appearance seems to be that OEM equipment manufacturers can continue to sell their Hardware, even if it is an older, less efficient and low-cost processor.
Why did Intel choose this processor and not the other? The answer seems to be given by the level of sales it had at the time, because it was the most efficient company sold on the list of corporate entrants given to its employees low cost. We can only imagine why no one would buy a computer with this processor instead of the powerful, efficient AMD Athlon 3000G. The answer is that at that time the processor is properly hedged for its good performance / price point.
What do you think? Do you think most machines powered by this Pentium G3420 will be sold, or that it would be a failure because no one wants a processor at 22 nm today? Of course, debate is served.
