I like this quote from yesterday's meeting: "Systems from major manufacturers based on Willamette and Timna (a low-end version of Celeron with an integrated graphics chip) will be in the market in high volumes for the peak selling season for 2000," he said. yahoo.cnet.com Of course, the AMDroids will just dismiss this as more Intel-FUD! joey

Tony, Acer blames Intel chip shortage for soft sales: Friday April 28, 5:34 am Eastern Time UPDATE 1-Acer's Q1 net soars 421 pct year/year (Adds details) TAIPEI, April 28 (Reuters) - Taiwan's largest personal computer maker Acer Inc said on Friday its first quarter net profits soared 421 percent year on year to T$2.747 billion in the first quarter of 2000, mostly due to rising investment income. First quarter sales dropped 11 percent year-on-year to T$28.839 billion from T$32.398 billion, Acer said in a statement. Acer attributed the sales decline to chip supply shortages from microchip maker Intel Corp (NasdaqNM:INTC - news), but did not elaborate. The statement said first-quarter earnings per share were at T$0.88, compared with T$0.18 in the same 1999 period. Acer said it earned T$523 million from selling stake sin Taiwan Cellular, the unlisted mobile telephony arm of Pacific Electric Wire and Cable , and shares in other companies. The sale of a loss-making microchip joint venture with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co also helped the bottom line, Acer said. The company said it had reached 22.9 percent of a T$12 billion net profit target for 2000 by the end of the first quarter, with sales hitting 19.2 percent of a T$150 billion target. Acer has set a full-year earnings per share target of T$3.19 for 2000. On Friday, shares of Acer rose the daily seven percent volatility limit to T$64 amid a sharp advance in technology shares.
