The CEO of Asustek reported that there was a shortage of the latest Intel Skylake processors in the market, news that was then confirmed by Intel. Desktop and mobile processors are both feeling the effects of the shortage despite the fact that the reasons behind the shortage are unclear. Asustek CEO Jerry Shen addressed the shortage in a recent earnings conference stating, "In September we are going to produce a lot of ‘Skylake’ products, but we expect significant shortage of ‘Skylake’ globally, not just for Asus." Intel spokesman Daniel Snyder attempted to address the shortage stating, "We are experiencing supply tightness due to strong demand and expect additional volume to be available as Q3 progresses."  It is also worth noting that once the processors get to manufacturers, there will be multiple additional weeks before products can get in the hands of consumers due to shipping times.
