Gateway heeft bekend gemaakt dat het tegenvallende financiële resultaten verwacht voor het vierde kwartaal van vorig jaar. Oorzaak is de beperkte supply van Intel processors:
"We're all intensely frustrated by the supply situation we were put in. We're not about to stand by and let the actions of other companies dictate what Gateway products our customers can buy," he said, adding: "In the next week or so, you're going to hear about some definitive and aggressive steps we are going to take to make sure this will never occur again."

The PC maker has been talking to AMD about integrating its touted Athlon processor into Gateway PCs again, according to sources. Gateway dropped AMD chips from its lineup earlier this year and short-circuited plans to adopt the Athlon. The chip shortage could heat those discussions. AMD will come out with an 800-MHz Athlon tomorrow, which IBM and Compaq Computer will adopt.
