I'm sure that semi equip manufacturers are trying to improve delivery times, but it is well to remember that making semiconductor equipment is not easy!

Intel needs equipment faster.

IMHO Intel has a lot of balls to complain...first they kept their capital budget flat (or was it even declining?) going into this year and now they expect the equipment companies to turn on a dime! Maybe next time they should do a better job of forecasting their own business (doubtful)!
