DaMJone schrijft: "Intel kan komende maand geen Pentium III meer ophoesten. Het gat wat Intel daarbij achter laat zal met open armen door concurent AMD ontvangen worden":
The shortage of Pentium III microprocessors is set to hit system builders worldwide, as more distributors report their February backlog of box processors is being slashed and burnt.Last week, we reported that a major European distributor complained bitterly that it had been told 13,000 boxed units of Pentium IIIs that it expected in February had been cut.
And now further confirmation has come from the US, which reports that giant distie Avnet had said supplies of Pentium IIIs will be tight during the entire quarter, according to US publication Electronic Buyers' News.
Aldus The Register, die hiermee eerdere berichten van vorige week bevestigd.
