Kudos for the JIT geniuses ;-) Hardest hit by the quake are new designs. "New [pc-board] designs will be delayed by at least four weeks because of the power rationing," said one foreign analyst. "Other components will also be in short supply." The problem is not just a dearth of core logic, "but of all the other 700 components that go into a mainboard," concurred the project manager. "Some we have in inventory, but others we just ordered on a day-to-day basis. The power shortages have made that ordering strategy fall apart. Products like our new K7 mainboards are especially hard hit." eetimes.com
