Intel has now boosted Coffee Lake Production with an additional assembly and testing facility

Until now all of Intel’s Coffee Lake CPUs have been produced in Malaysia, though Intel has stated that their testing methodology and process technologies are identical, which means that there should be no difference between the performance, reliability and quality between both facilities. 

At this time it is unknown what Intel has done on the Silicon manufacturing end to increase the quantity of Coffee Lake CPUs on the market, as this additional facility, which is located in Chengdu China, only works with completed silicon and assembles and tests CPUs. This means that it is impossible to know how much of an impact this new facility will have on the supply of Coffee Lake CPUs.
