The shortage of Intel's latest notebook CPUs seems to be getting worse can cause some PC makers slow launching new laptops. This shortage occurs with the new Intel laptop processors. As a distributor of U.S. chip converges, the lack of this item will make many people buy microprocessor chips to pay higher prices to 20% on the open market. In a monthly research report, the company said that the shortage occurred from May 3 / 2010 and will last through April 2010.

According to researchers CLSA Asia Pacific Securities Markets, chip shortages can cause delays in many laptops unveiled last from 3 months. It can also give Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Intel's main rival, the opportunity to win market share for notebook processors offer - the fastest growing segment of the PC business.

Research director for IDC's Shane Rau that Arrandale chip shortage will affect mainly to the smaller PC manufacturers. The major manufacturers usually provide a first priority, while smaller manufacturers must find other solutions. "I do not think the lack of will to hold back the market and substantially increase system cost," he said. Both Hewlett-Packard, Acer and Asustek Computer have declined to comment on this issue.

Arrandale Intel processors designed for PC manufacturers can create thinner laptops. Arrandale microprocessor chip includes two boxes: one Arrandale core processor built using 32nm production technology and graphics processors built using 45nm technology.
