Shortage predicted for Intel Corp’s new chip, Atom
Early demand looks strong for Intel Corp.’s Austin-designed low-power processor, code-named “Silverthorne.” Pictured right are three leaders of the Silverthorne design team.
Intel has branded the new chip “Atom,” and plenty of electronics companies are making plans to use it in new, smaller and low-power laptop computers and hand-held Internet-access devices.
Asustek of Taiwan, which already has made a hot-selling small notebook, says it expects a “severe shortage” of Atom chips this summer because so many personal computer makers have product plans involving the chip, according to a story in the Financial Times.
