Facing a severe supply shortage at 14nm, Intel recently revived the Haswell Pentium G3420. This part, discontinued in 2015, could prove popular with OEMs for budget builds. However, will it be enough to alleviate Intel's supply crisis?

Small correction: The Pentium G3420 does not, in fact, have hyperthreading.

Either way, this is a quite perplexing move from Intel. Haswell doesn't even support DDR4.

article on tomshardware indicates this chip was 22nm (not 14nm) and hadn't been discontinued ... the notification was just a correction to a previous notification error.

There's plenty of second user goods going around. People don't recycle. New models are only a marginally incremental improvement over the previous generation. Recycle more.
