Sonoma - new chipset in short supply

Hi all,

What the subject says...

Just a line tagged on the end of another article on Intel's 64-Bit Pentium 4.

Seems like an excuse to drive up prices to me. Suppliers have been waiting for Sonoma for 6 months, what did Intel expect?

This doesn't surprise me. The original Centrino platform suffered similar shortages when it first launched in 2003.

It takes time to ramp up production to a point where the demands of all the manufacturers are satisfied.
