Intel has another chip set shortage
A spike in PC demand has created a new shortage of Intel chip sets, potentially reviving an issue blamed for causing the company to lose market share to rival Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) last year. Legit Reviews correctly called this shortage nearly a month ago in the conclusion of the Conroe launch article by saying: "The limiting factor here will actually be chipsets. The Intel 965 chipset is still new and currently not even available at Newegg, which goes to show that motherboards will be tight on this one".
"This year, the problem is with the 965 chip set," said Han, referring to the shortage. He said he did not know of any production glitches, believing instead that the sharp upswing in demand caught companies by surprise. "Back to school demand is very strong in the U.S.," he said.
