AMD: Short on chips?
Posted by: Hooz on: 11/06/2006 07:53 PM [ Print | 2 comment(s) ]
With all of the recent speculation on AMD's supply issues, they have finally come out of the closet and admitted that they do indeed have supply issues!
All I know is that the Dimension C521 I ordered from Dell took THREE WEEKS to arrive, so I'm not entirely convinced that it is just the small OEMs with allocation issues.
| In a prepared statement for CRN, AMD acknowledged the shortage but declined to discuss its allocation guidelines or channel strategy. A spokesman attributed the problem to a strain on supply as overall demand increases from both system builders and top OEMs. |

Seems this is mainly affecting the newer desktop(AM2) chips for now. I wonder how long though before this starts affecting the workstation/server chips(Socket 940/Socket F) that most of us on this site would be more interested in. #1: K8N-DL; Opty 280's; Ninja HSF's; 3GB Corsair PC3200; 2ea Seagate 400GB IDE; ATI 4670; Coolermaster 810 case |

At least the demand is there now to quickly soak up the old stock, ready for the arrival of the new 65nm parts to market. 'Barcelona', anyone...?
