OEMs scramble to get their hands on Intel's newest mobile processors.
Intel specifically designed its new Atom processors (http://www.dailytech.com/Thinking+Small+New+Intel+Architecture+Champions+Su b+1+Watt+x86/article10930.htm) to be as energy efficient as possible while at the same time being powerful enough to handle everyday tasks requested by consumers. Intel apparently struck a nerve with manufacturers as demand is currently outstripping supply (http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_9116393) for the inexpensive 45nm processors. "We are working closely with our customers to meet their needs," said Intel spokesman Bill Calder. "We're just seeing better-than-anticipated demand."
Although Intel declined to comment further on the extent of any Atom shortages, ASUS CEO Jerry Shen estimated that Intel likely won't be able to satisfy demand (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120959077969057413.html?apl=y&r=566010) for Atom processors until Q3 2008. Shen went on to add that his company is better prepared to ride out any hiccups related to Atom shipments in its Eee PC 900.

É uma notícia já com alguns dias, mas importante para quem está a considerar comprar um dos novos ultraportáteis.
