Intel urged to boost Prescott production

Two of the UK’s largest component distributors have warned Intel that unless it heavily ramps up production of the newly launched Pentium 4 chips, supply shortages will become a real issue

Sukh Rayat, vice-president and managing director for Europe at Avnet Technology Solutions, said the first quarter had been "extremely buoyant" so far and Intel’s new products were in high demand, which was putting pressure on the vendor’s other lines. "Unless Intel starts to supply Prescott in line with market demand, Northwood [the name of the design of the core technology] could start to have serious supply issues," he said.

Can't be. Prescott in it's current form is a loser, as the AMDroids have told me, so it must be true, and therefore, this story must be a lie.
