Intel kampt nog steeds met grote tekorten bij de produktie van de Pentium III. Distributeurs hebben volgens The Register te horen gekregen dat de leveringen voor februari zijn gecancelled. AMD lijkt vooralsnog wel in staat te zijn om aan de vraag te voldoen:
One major European distributor told The Register today that it has lost its February backlog allocation of 15,000 Pentium IIIs. Each part would have been worth $150 to its bottom line.The European position was confirmed by an American distributor who said his February backlog had been cancelled too. Pentium III parts are -- he reckons -- being diverted to vendors in the Chip Direct programme.
AMD's backlog on Athlon parts is still intact and it has no problems meeting dealer demand, according to a European distributor.
Thanks insane voor de tip.
