Intel loses 40,000 CPUs One of our wagons is missing By Mike Magee, 21/02/2002 08:45:20 BST A COUPLE OF WEEKS back we heard from a reliable source that a wagonload of Intel CPUs was hijacked in Europe. We believe that these chips may have been Pentium 4 CPUs and we phoned our local Intel PR representative here in the UK to see if he'd heard anything. Problem is that Intel is very wary about talking about hijacks and heists, as we remember from the days when DRAM was so expensive it was worthwhile people burgling offices and ripping it out of PCs. Yesterday, however, we heard from another source the same missing wagon story, with the only variation being that it could have been a distributor's lorry. Intel did say when we contacted them that each processor has a batch number, but we'd think this was pretty hard to trace if the chips have found their way into the grey market. µ theinquirer.net Futureclient banishes fans for PCs theinquirer.net Via extends notebook roadmap plans theinquirer.net AMD announces Hammer chipsets Nvidia, ALi, SIS and Via join theinquirer.net AMD to back API Phoenix? theinquirer.net
