AMD VS INTC?
$Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$ isn't expected to launch chips based on its next-gen Zen 4 architecture until later this year, and when it does there's no guarantee that budget chips will be part of the lineup. AMD depends on $Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM.US)$ , along with scores of other fabless semiconductor companies, so the company is limited by how much advanced manufacturing capacity it can secure. $Intel (INTC.US)$ doesn't have that problem since it manufactures most of its own chips.
By not launching budget CPUs, users of AMD's older budget processors haven't had a viable upgrade path. Someone who's running an inexpensive Zen 2 chip from a few years ago and wants to upgrade without breaking the bank hasn't had a good option on the AMD side.
