Re: "Capacity crunch stymies Intel's StrongARM:
Palm Springs, Calif. - Intel Corp. is notifying customers that supplies of its StrongARM embedded processor will be limited for up to six months. The shortage is causing some smaller OEMs to tighten their belts, although one large customer is reporting no delays in its order fulfillment."

What this probably means is that Intel is lining up outside fab capacity to fill this demand. Intel is not about to use their top of the line process for a low margin product and they aren't about to increase fab capacity of their .35u process so they are probably contracting out and that takes time to bring up.
