Chip Shortage


Seems like both Intel and archrival AMD have something in common. Neither are actually delivering on their latest notebook chips. History repeating itself....again.
A full quarter after launch, and a full delay before the launch means probably that the notebook guys' idea of execution means that Sonoma sits on death row while the world+dog waits for this triply announced marvel.

Customers of Intel and AMD - and these are OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) must be sputtering feathers, although of course if you are a really, really special customer you might be able to get a notebook. Consumers can go hang, we suspect.
