Intel confirms it's using third party chipsets
ANDY BRYANT, Intel's CFO, confirmed in a conference call with analysts that it continues to have shortages of chipsets and is using other suppliers.
The shortage will continue into its fourth financial quarter, said Bryant, and likely for longer.
It is using third party suppliers for low end desktop systems. As we've reported before, ATI is one of Intel's third party suppliers.
The shortage is not caused by any type of manufacturing glitch at the factories, but because it's important for Intel to move its fabs to 300mm production, he said.
