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%.

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.
