Intel Suspends H310 Chipsets on Short Supply

The H310 Intel chipset is likely not even on many HardOCP reader's radar, as it is the lowest of the low when it comes to 8th generation processor support with no enthusiast features. Intel is has run out of supply on the chipset, as reported by Digitimes, due to shrinking 14nm capacity as its move to 10nm is not shaking out so well. Thanks cageymaru.


As H310 is widely adopted by makers of desktop motherboards, the ongoing supply disruption will further weaken demand during the low season in the second quarter, the sources lamented. Motherboard makers have been forced to adopt B360 as an alternative, which is similar in market position to H310 but carries higher cost.

Speculation has emerged claiming Intel suspended the supply of H310 because of a manufacturing process change from 14nm to 22nm for the chipset after a delay in advancing to 10nm had resulted in tight capacity for 14nm.

For DIY, the x50, now 360 was much better, and not much more expensive. I can see when building thousands or hundreds of thousands of systems, but I'd much rather take the 360 over the 310 anyway.
