If sales go up then INTC has to be able to produce to meet demand. The item they questioned was availability not demand. I didn't say it but I am asking that those that reply on the subject at least keep on the point of discussion and not skew the discussion with facts that aren't relevant.

Just don't fly off the handle and cram market data down someone's throat when they voice an idle thought. Maybe just maybe even an erroneous premise could lead to a valid discussion of fact if you don't take it as a personal threat to one side or the other.


The fact that one vendor does not have a Centrino Notebook greater than a certain MHz says nothing about availability of the product. Maybe the vendor didn't anticipate the surge, and didn't order sufficient notebooks from the supplier, maybe the notebook supplier didn't anticipate the orders, and didn't put in the orders to the Motherboard maker. Maybe the Motherboard Maker didn't anticipate the Notebook makers order and didn't make enough boards. Lots of things could have happened besides intel not being able to supply the chips.

As far as your contention about Petz's question, Maybe you're right...... Perhaps Petz was just "voicing an idle thought"........ Perhaps Petz's past history of criticizing Centrino was not the root cause of his comments........ Perhaps Petz's subsequent post on "Centrino Lackluster Demand" was not intended to suggest that "Centrino Is Not Pulling It's Weight". Perhaps it was all just an idle thought. Perhaps there really is a Santa Claus. But I doubt it.
