Intel cancels its previous 2015 discontinuation of 2013's 22nm Haswell Pentium G3420, almost certainly to make up for the current shortage in 14nm and 10nm parts:

[I know Intel claimed to have discontinued 22nm parts long ago, but I can say for a fact that these have continued to be sourced by and almost certainly still manufactured for OEMs in China for new builds throughout all of 14nm, when looking at it from the standard parts available in that market this doesn't seem like a real change in supply, just an expansion/declaration of something that's been going on for a while, as 22nm has been very obviously plugging a supply shortage in China since Broadwell].

{Of course, 14nm should have been cheaper than 22nm parts assuming 14nm's transition was as standard as Intel claimed, but the reality seemed to be that 22nm remained cheaper to manufacture for years after 14nm's launch due to 14's low yields}

Early 14nm was a bit of a disaster. There was a reason why we got Devil's Canyon instead of Broadwell on desktop. We never did get a i7-5770K. Thankfully things got a lot better with Skylake.

I agree with you that this is for cheap OEM systems to fill the low-end supply gap.

If they had industrial sized UPS' in operation this type of thing could be avoided but then again they wouldn't be able to up the price of their products for months at a time.

Steve GN said that one of the memory manufacturers said to him during the last price rage: "We have more money than God." 40-ish million loss for power failure is pocket change when you bump prices afterwards and earn billions. I just hope they memory prices don't go haywire again.

Was there any doubt??? NAND Flash Prices to Rise up to 40% in 2020

They just needed an excuse. Probably sabotaged the region's powerline themselves.

I wouldn't go that far, but I agree that NAND manufacturers have let this happen to a degree. They know that demand is up and haven't prepared. The SSD demand from new consoles will also make matters worse.

Hopefully reductions in SSD controller costs will help mitigate any NAND cost increases, though what I see is M.2 SSD prices getting a lot closer to SATA drives.

When Seagate talk about HAMR and multi-actuator tech, a lot of people just say "HDD is dead" and wonder why anyone would invest there. Seeing this just proves how unstable and unreliable the NAND market can be.
 
Corsair finally releasing an air cooler, I've been asking for this for years, It costs the same as Noctuas top end NHD14 and NHU12A so I'm hoping it at least matches those, If it does I'm saying bye bye to my AIO.

EDIT

And it does according to an early review, Bye bye AIO ^_^

I'm thinking this. Origin PC need air coolers, and now Corsair sees that they can use that to make air coolers viable for them (as Origin PC can give them volume).
