The company had expected its gross margin, which has long hovered around 60%, to come in at 56% for the second quarter. The explanation provided in April was that Intel would be gearing up to release a 10-nanometer chip for laptops, with the code name “Tiger Lake,” in the third quarter. Added to that, Intel said that it’s now pushed backed the internal launch of a 7-nanometer chip by six months, putting it 12 months behind its original target for so-called yield, which measures product quality.

Top rival AMD, meanwhile, is selling 7-nanometer chips for PCs and gaming units.

Intel said on Thursday that its gross margin, or the percentage of revenue left after subtracting the costs of goods sold, dropped to 53.3% in the period from 59.8% a year earlier. The profit metric hasn’t dipped this low since the second quarter of 2009, when its margin was 51%.
